I agree with both your comments about the movie.  In the title, however, I
wouldn't use the word {QaS}; it means 'troops, excluding officers' (KGT p.
50) -- and the officers are highly important in the movie, and more so in the
book.  Maybe {'ejDo' negh} is better, since {negh} means the whole unit.
