His fellow instructor, and friend helps him to face the ghosts of his past experiences in Korea. One night in a bar across the border in Juarez, Mexico, Sgt.

Movie Trivia
At about 18 minutes into the film while Richard Widmark and Karl Malden's characters are shooting pool there is a sign on the wall that reads: Watch Your Language Single Men Present. A real "sign" of the times.
Originally based on a story about the training of U.S. Marines, and was to be shot at Camp Pendleton near San Diego, California. However, the Marines refused to cooperate with the production "because they did not want to stir up controversies over the toughness of their training program", according to an article in the 7 December 1953 edition of Life magazine. The U.S. Army cooperated fully with the studio.
The horizontal white bars on the rear of Sergeant Ryan and Sergeant Holt's helmet liners indicate they are NCOs (non-commissioned officers). Officers had vertical white bars on the backs of their helmets. The purpose of the markings was to quickly identify those in command from the rear.
