Trivia
This was the movie playing on a double-bill at the Texas Theater in Dallas when Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested there on 22 November 1963 for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the murder of police officer J.D. Tippit. The other half of the double feature, War Is Hell (1961), was the movie playing during the arrest. It is suspected that Cry of Battle did not actually screen that day, as the theater closed for a few days following the arrest. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

I was the producer of "Cry of Battle". The production name, Petramonte,is Stein(stone)berg(mountain) in Spanish. The rape scene was with Van Heflin trying to rape Pinang, played by the Phillipina actress, Marilou Munoz, not Rita Morena. For Trivia: I shot around Rita Morena so that she could fly back to LA for the Acedemy Award. She got an Oscar that year, returned and continued shooting. The working title was "To be a man". The book called for an young adult. Making the David McVey character younger with James MacArthur, it was better contrast as a much younger man. We shot a number of days using jitneys (old cars used as buses) horse drawn carts in crowded streets. This was that start of the Japanese attack. All of that work and footage went into the trash can and we ended up with a simple line about the date.
