John Dunning Quote
They were sometimes closer to truth than the government wanted radio to be. Anticipating an invasion of Sicily, Robson sent writer Allan Sloane to Massachusetts, where engineers were being trained in the art of beachhead landings. I knew they were gonna go in someplace, he said, and there had to be beachfront landings. So we knew ahead of time all the techniques that were being taught, and we just dramatized a textbook landing. The news bulletins came on a Friday evening, Robson remembered. I called Allan and asked how the script was going. He said he was nearly finished. I said, ‘You’d better be finished, because we’re goin’ with it on Sunday.
