The second unit montages, such as the opening sequence of the refugee trail and the invasion of France, were directed by Don Siegel. Siegel later directed the science fiction horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), as well as five films with Clint Eastwood, including the police thriller Dirty Harry (1971) and the prison drama Escape from Alcatraz (1979), and John Wayne's final film, the Western The Shootist (1976).
