- TriviaThis production was the first to be filmed expressly for broadcast in high-definition television (HDTV) format.
- GoofsThroughout the movie, there are various maps of Europe. Nearly every one of them shows Europe with post-WWII borders, specifically Germany and Poland. Austria and Czeckoslovkia are shown as independent, while most maps of the early 1940's showed them as part of Germany (at least western Czeckoslovkia). They avoid the anachronism of East and West Germany, but Germany is shown with its c. 1990 borders after (re-)unification, Poland is shown with its postwar borders which were drastically different than those before the war, and the German state of East Prussia does not appear.

Featured review
Three hours with three men
Dubbed "Then There Were Giants" on cable, this made-for-tv two part film spends three hours presenting a theatrical digest of the communication which ostensibly took place between FDR, Churchill, and Stalin during WWII. Against a backdrop of file footage and the various sets required for conferences (Teheran, Yalta, etc.), the trio of heads-of-state build complex relationships of diplomacy as they map out plans for D-Day, the UN, and more. Lithgow, Hoskins, and Caine turn in excellent performances in this sterling characterization of the men who occasioned some of the 20th centuries most momentous events. Great stuff for WWII history buffs.
