    • Trivia
      When location filming ran past the original production schedule, Sir Laurence Olivier insisted on getting his "bonus salary," weekly cash payments in briefcases full of money, flown to the location by helicopter.
    • Goofs
      The film is set in 1950, at the beginning of the Korean War. The extras in the press room have late-1970s clothing and haircuts.
    • Quotes

      Adm. Sherman: All right, let's admit we take the beaches. We land here, at Inchon. What's say we can't reinforce the Marines for the whole of 12 hours? What's to prevent another fiasco like at Anzio?

      Gen. Douglas MacArthur: Admiral, I was not at Anzio.

    • Alternate versions
      Aired in 2001 on the "GoodLife TV Network," owned at the time by the Unification Church, in a version derived from the original premiere cut containing all of the David Janssen/Rex Reed scenes. This version removes profanity by silencing the soundtrack but apparently makes no actual cuts for violence or other content, and runs 138 minutes. This version has been the source of several bootlegs since its airing.

    A disaster long hidden from view
    For the most part no one has watched this film in the twenty plus years since it was released to theaters. Considering that almost no one saw it when it was released I think the producers certainly know what they are doing.

    While the film, which tells of the turning point in the Korean War, isn't good, or even fair, its not the worst war film ever made.Granted its close, but its not in the top ten or even top 25.

    As bad as it is it should be watched by anyone in film school as examples of what not to do for money. First and foremost is Olivier's performance as Mac Arthur which IS simply so bad that that every award he ever received should have had to have been given back. Its one of the screens worst moments, and a warning of what happens when wax figures are left too long in the sun. Olivier's make up makes him look like the left over at fire sale in a wax museum.

    The film is indifferently directed while the writing is bad TV soap opera. Its cleared no one cared about this film other than its producer who threw scads of money but to no avail.

    An example of how and why not to make a movie.
