Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The film was originally titled Hell Is for Heroes until Steve McQueen demanded that title for his own project, then called Separation Hill. Director Edmond O'Brien was furious when studio executive Martin Rackin gave in, since McQueen, an up-and-coming star, had more clout than O'Brien.
