Facts about
Although Robert Aldrich had tried to purchase the rights to E.M. Nathanson's novel "The Dirty Dozen" while it was still in outline form, it was MGM that successfully acquired the property in May 1963. The book became a best-seller upon its publication in 1965.
Donald Sutherland was a late casting decision, replacing an actor who dropped out because he thought the role was beneath him.
John Wayne was first offered the part of Maj. John Reisman, but he declined and went on to star in and direct another war film (The Green Berets). The part was then offered to Lee Marvin, who took it. Wayne's refusal was due to his disapproval of the original script where Reisman has a brief affair with a married woman whose husband is fighting overseas.
