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

Pifias
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.

Citas
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.

William Haines becomes a star

in this smash hit of 1927 that also boasts a star turn from Lon Chaney. Eleanor Boardman, Carmel Myers, and Warner Oland are also effective in this comedy-drama about the wise guy from Kansas City (Haines) who joins the Marines and grows up under the tutelage of Chaney. From this point in his career until the early 30s (talkies) Haines was a top 5 box office star for MGM.
