Trivia

John Wayne and Patricia Neal did not get along during filming. She was particularly annoyed by his treatment of a gay publicity man. Nearly fourteen years later, however, they worked together on In Harm's Way where she noted that he had mellowed a lot, possibly because he was seriously ill with lung cancer at the time. See more »
