Wissenswertes
During the production, Lon Chaney formed a close friendship with Marine Corps Gen. Smedley Butler, which lasted for the rest of Chaney's life.

Patzer
In the final sequence, when Sergeant O'Hara (Lon Chaney) is drilling the new recruits, the top buttons of his uniform are undone. This would be unpardonable by Marine standards, particularly in the case of this hard-nosed veteran.

Zitate
Marine Major: Burns, are you an American citizen?
Pvt. George Robert 'Skeet' Burns: Sure! Do I look like a Persian?
Marine Major: Ever been married?
Pvt. George Robert 'Skeet' Burns: Not me! I'm America's sweetheart!
Marine Major: Ever been in jail?
Pvt. George Robert 'Skeet' Burns: No.
[Major stands up. Burns stands up and says an oath. Sits back down]
Pvt. George Robert 'Skeet' Burns: Well, Maje old kid... now I'm a Marine.
Marine Major: You're damned right you are! Stand up!
[Gestures for Burns to leave his office]
Sgt. O'Hara: Terrible! Madden, put a uniform on this! Try to make it look human! Don't shoot him before we find out where his parents live.

Alternative Versionen
In 2000, Turner Classic Movies presented on TV a version with an orchestral score by Robert Israel (II) and a running time of 103 minutes.

One of Chaney's best performances -- PERIOD!

This is one of Lon Chaney's finest performances. It also shows that MGM Production chief, Irving Thalberg, was not afraid to cast Chaney in a "no-makeup-role." Chaney gives a tough, yet endearing performance as the tough-but-loveable Marine sergeant.

It was MGM's second highest grossing picture (next to Garbo's "Flesh & the Devil"), earning over $6.1 million. But the Marines gave Chaney his highest praise for his role: he became the FIRST actor to be made an honorary member of the US Marine Corps.
