Facts about
Jim Brown's character is credited as 'Napoleon Jefferson' in the original US trailer.
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.
The French chateau that appears in the film was constructed especially for the production by art director William Hutchinson and his crew of 85. One of the largest sets ever built, it stood 240 feet across and 50 feet high. Gardeners surrounded the building with 5400 square yards of heather, 400 ferns, 450 shrubs, 30 spruce trees and 6 full-grown weeping willows.
