You're also noted that, Sam? Yellow stripes on breeches, hat cords, red and white flag on pole which Cap brings down...

I missed it. I'll have to look for it next time I see it on video with my kids.
What I enjoyed about the film is that Cap is an earnestly heroic hero. Most movies now have reluctant heroes. That's OK for Spiderman, because that's the original story but it's getting to be a troupe. In the Lord of the Rings movies Faramir and even Aragorn had second thoughts about accepting their call to heroism. Same thing for Green Lantern, Cap Kirk in the Star Trek reboot, etc. To much cynical influence for my taste.
Good thing there´s at least one movie with a guy that just does what a man has to do. Plus it shows patriotism as a good thing.
To bad he doesn´t get the girl in the end.
