A World War II movie set on a Pacific island. Japanese and Allied forces occupy different parts of the island. When a group of British soldiers are sent on a mission behind enemy lines, things don't go exactly to plan. This movie differs in that some of the "heros" are very reluctant, but they come good when they are pursued by the Japanese, who are determined to prevent them returning to base.
Movie Trivia
While filming in the jungles in the Philippines, Sir Michael Caine seemed to have an unerring sense of direction, and always managed to find his way about. However, filming in the jungles created on the studio back lot in Hollywood was delayed on the first day, as Caine had managed to get himself lost.
Tokyo firms created four hundred new Japanese Army uniforms for the production.
When Cliff Robertson entered the U.S. Navy base in Subic Bay to do some location work, he was dressed in full military uniform, and was mistaken for an officer by the guards at the entry post.
Writer, producer, and director Robert Aldrich told the studio that he would accept "anybody but Cliff Robertson" for the leading role. His refusal to allow Robertson to attend the Academy Awards ceremony in 1969 was seen as a way to extract revenge on the studio.
