Wissenswertes
Director Robert Wise was so proud of this movie that he held yearly parties with surviving cast members to celebrate it.

Patzer
During the battle scene at the blockade, Holman is sent forward on the port side with two men manning a B.A.R. position. When the main battery on San Pablo fires and hits the mast of a junk, a group of men near midships who are part of the boarding party are seen laughing, Holman being one of them.

Zitate
Frenchy Burgoyne: [exchanging marriage vows; slowly and with feeling] We're mixing our lives together, Maily, and we'll never be able to unmix them again, and we'll never want to. I take you for what you are, and all that you are, and mix you with all of me, and I don't hold back nothing. When you're cold, and hungry, and afraid, so am I. I'm going to stay with you all that I can, take the best care of you that I can, and love you 'til I die.
Maily: I will always love you and honor you and serve you, and stay as near to you as I can, and do everything for you, and live for you. I won't have *any* life except our life together. I will just love you, Frenchy, all of me, loving you forever.

Crazy Credits
There is a credit for 'Diversions by Irving Schwartz' in tribute to a mysterious, unknown correspondent whose letters proved a morale booster to cast and crew during trying location work in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Alternative Versionen
The original "roadshow" version ran 196 minutes; later cut to its present length (182 minutes) for its general release. The roadshow version was included in a 2007 special edition DVD release, which provided the first viewing of this version since the original 1966 release.

9/10

As audiences we care for Jake and his destiny. We understand and sympathise with his feelings and predicament. McQueen brought an innocent humanity to the role.

I first saw this (the 182 mins version) in the early 90s.

Revisited it few days back but again the 182 mins version.

Tried very hard to get the 196 roadshow version but to no avail but was lucky to come across all the deleted/roadshow version scenes on YouTube uploaded by BossHossGT500.

McQueen deserved an Oscar for this movie and his anti hero/rebel character is an epitome of a cool rebel.

The movie has some amazing picturesque images.

For a war film, The Sand Pebbles features very little war/action scenes but that shouldn't deter u from watching this classic movie.

The last scene with the dialogue: I was home. What happened? What the hell happened?

The last scene is very poignant, surrealistic n far ahead of its time in terms of the horrors of war.
