Trivia
During downtime whilst shooting the picture, Brad Dexter saved Frank Sinatra from drowning when he dived into the ocean and rescued the floundering singer.

Goofs
One African American belongs to the USMC platoon. At this time, US military was not an integrated military and Blacks were segregated. This black Marine couldn't have been a member of this platoon.

Quotes
Lt. Kuroki: Our island is a little chunk of coral in the Sakhalin archipelago. It is nameless and the Great War beyond its horizons ignores us, for we are the expendables of an amphibious landing, left to God, a forgotten outpost of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Crazy credits
The line NOBODY EVER WINS appears in place of "The End" just before the end credits start, which is appropriate given the film's anti-war message.

Alternate versions
Some prints of the film do not include subtitles for any of the Japanese sequences.

WWII Action....

A plane load of US Marines crashlands on a Pacific Island held by Japanese soldiers during WW2. The Marines include a green lieutenant (Sands), a veteran sergeant (Dexter) and a medic (Sinatra). Clint Walker plays the pilot who is more than just a pilot.

The Japanese have been bypassed by their own and are seeking a way off the island. There are a few skirmishes with the Marines and then a "truce".

But how long will it hold for?

Good characters, story and actors make it worth watching.
