Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
SPOILER
The novel ended with the leading character killed by US troops. Aldrich said United Artists and Hecht "became apprehensive of that so called down-beat ending", and although he made noise, they did not hear him and used the happy ending.- Burt Lancaster tore a ligament while filming a horse scene on the picture, and he returned to filming relatively quickly afterwards.
