Well even though he repeated that a lot I still think it goes to show the enormity of pressure he was under. His fear of being fired must have left him traumatised/scarred if he needed to repeat it that often during his commentary.

Little did FFC know (during GI's production) that it would end up being voted one of the best movies ever......did you see his Academy Award acceptance speech? He was in shock - he actually didn't think (after all that pressure and those threats by Paramount) that his blood sweat and tears would pay off as much as they did
