- QuizPeter Falk in his 2006 autobiography "Just One More Thing: Stories of My Life" stated that he didn't like the script for this film, finding it hackneyed and full of cliché; he wanted to leave the film for these reasons. However, producer Dino De Laurentiis encouraged him to stay by giving him film-poster name-above-the-title credit as well as choice of writer for his dialogue. Falk stayed on the picture and apparently actually wrote his own dialogue.
- BlooperToward the beginning of the film, Cpl. Jack Rabinoff (Peter Falk) is in the back of a Red Cross ambulance with three prostitutes and grabs a shoebox-sized box labeled "Hershey's Milk Chocolate Multi Pack" with a "1968 design" of the Hershey logo. One of the prostitutes reaches into the box and pulls out a "1968 design" box of Brach's Milk Chocolate Stars. In addition to the two anachronisms, Hershey's and Brach's are two separate companies.
- Citazioni
Dick Ennis: [attending to Rabinoff who went into sudden convulsions] Look, fellows, I think he can use the air more then the company, okay? Anything anybody can do?
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: No, unless you have a band-aid.
Dick Ennis: Very funny.
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: Oh, it's murder. The stomach, you see? A Japanese grenade ripped my insides. Got medal in there. Under tension it contracts and all hell breaks loose. I must have been tense.
Dick Ennis: Good thinking. You belong in a hospital, not in a war.
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: Yeah, that's what they said when they sent me home.
Dick Ennis: You mean you got out, then you went to Canada and joined this outfit?
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: That's right.
Dick Ennis: How did you get past the doctors?
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: Lied about my age.
Dick Ennis: You gotta be crazy. Half your guts blown out and you're back here. What for?
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: Awkward time for a interview.
Dick Ennis: You got something better to do? Why did you re-enlist?
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: Why? Because I like it, you know. I missed it, Ennis. With all the mud and pain, these clowns giving orders, there's nothing like it. Look, a guy sells shoes for 40 years. I live more in one day, I see more and feel more. I taste more, I think more. I'm more, understand? I'm more. There's more to living than breathing. Capisce?
Dick Ennis: Capisce.
Cpl. Jack Rabinoff: You're the same way, that's right. War is part of you. You belong to it and when this one's over, you'll find another and I hope I'm with you.
- ConnessioniReferenced in The Carol Burnett Show: Nanette Fabray and Steve Lawrence (1970)
The best thing about this movie are the performances of Mark Damon and Reni Santoni as two U.S. Army Rangers. Peter Falk was stereotyped with this type of anti-establishment role in the late 1960s and played the exact same role in Castle Keep. Falk also looks beat, drunk, and bored. Arthur Kennedy and Robert Ryan are totally wasted and it's clear they were hired for their names. Earl Holliman gives a modest performance.
