Facts about
Gary Cooper was very ill during production, and was actually filming against the advice of his doctors.
John Wayne criticized what he perceived to be a "lack of patriotism" of this film, saying "How they got Gary Cooper to do that one, to me, at least, it simply degrades the Medal of Honor. The whole story makes a mockery of America's highest award for valor, the whole premise of the story was wrong, illogical because they don't pick the type of men the movie picked to win the award, and that can be proved by the very history of the award."
Besides looking far too old for his character, Gary Cooper was actually quite ill during shooting, and participated in this film against the advice of his doctors. Towards the end of the film he was dragged 100 yards along the ground by a railroad handcar, something film critic Stanley Kauffmann complained about in an issue in the magazine New Republic.
