Facts about

This movie's opening prologue is represented by segments of a speech by President John F. Kennedy.
According to Bob Newhart's autobiography, 'I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This', Steve McQueen and Bobby Darin did not get along during filming. When stories of their feud appeared in the trade papers, the film's publicist was fired. But it was Nick Adams who leaked the story. According to Newhart, Adams felt so badly that he chased the publicist's departing plane yelling "I'm sorry!"
During the production shooting of this movie, a number of actors including Steve McQueen and Fess Parker frequently arrived on set late and shot a number of scenes without rehearsal or little of it, without make-up. Apparently, these actors were working on other film projects at the same time in parallel to this one.
