Facts about
A number of actors were once announced as going to appear in this picture according to 'the Hollywood Reporter'. These included: Frank Belt, Patrick Holmes, William Lundmark, Jack Morrow, Greg Rogers, Dudley Ross, Tommy Walker and Steve Wayne.
Apparently, one of this film's working titles, 'Old Soldiers Never Die', was inspired by a 1951 speech made by 'General Douglas MacArthur'. The title is derived from the line "old soldiers never die, they just fade away" from the Barracks Ballad. MacArthur made the speech just prior to his retirement at a Joint Session of the US Congress.
The technical advisor, Raymond Harvey, US Army, was awarded the Distinguish Service Cross (second only to the Medal of Honor), two Silver Stars and two Purple Hearts, during WW II and won the Medal of Honor in the Korean War. While working on this film he became close friends with the director Samuel Fuller. Apparently, the US Army assigned Harvey as technical adviser to the production after they had had issues with Fuller's earlier movie about the Korean War, The Steel Helmet.
