| Trivia | This movie was originally going to star Rory Calhoun, Jeffrey Hunter, Gary Merrill and Robert Wagner, according to a May 1951 edition of "The Hollywood Reporter". See more » |
| Goofs | The medic and Corporal Denno attempt to go through an enemy mine field standing up, whilst slowly feeling ahead for mines with their feet. This would be suicide, since stepping on a hidden mine would cause it to explode. The correct method is for troops to lie prone and carefully probe the ground in front of them at an angle, using a bayonet, rod, or other implement. See more » |

Cpl. Denno:
Some men are afraid of high places. Some are afraid of water. And some are afraid of being responsible for the death of a lot of other guys. See more » |
