Todd was never able to repeat his success in the United States, appearing in several films which did not do as well as his first role. He did appear in The Longest Day. An interesting note about this role -- during the war, Todd met with Major John Howard on the Orne Bridge in Normandy. In the movie, he played Major Howard, and the scene in which Howard met up with Todd appears in the film. In D-Day the Sixth of June, he portrayed the commanding general of the unit in which Todd and Howard served, and the scene was filmed again.
