Jeopardy

I relaxed last night and watched Saints and Soldiers, courtesy of my co-worker (and TGJB reader) who loaned me his DVD. This is a World War II movie. In one scene a some American soldiers come upon a British soldier suspended by his parachute in a tree. The Americans cut him down, but the British soldier is frantic and paranoid, and suspects these Americans might actually be Germans. He grabs one American and holds a gun to his head, and then fires off a series a series of questions to find out whether these Americans are who they say they are. How would you have done if confronted with those questions under such circumstances? The questions were: "Who was the third president of the United States?!" "Who was the fourth?!!" "What is the capital of Vermont?!!!" This reminded me of a movie I saw as a child. I can't recall the name of the movie, and while a particular scene made a great impression on me, my memory is quite hazy - - maybe someone among my vast readership can write in with better recall. To the best of my recollection, the movie depicts some American solders who are in Nazi-controlled territory. There is a touring American band which, for some reason, the Nazi's would allow to travel undisturbed. The soldiers have blended in with the band to escape detection, but the Germans suspect this may have happened, and their leader confronts the band in its rehearsal room. The leader calls at random on one of the band members to play something on his instrument. The man he called on was one of the soldiers. After a pause - - the soldier picks up a trombone, and then with some deliberation plays the national anthem of the United States. The Germans leave in disgust. The soldier had been in his high school band, but had not played the trombone since.
