Movie accurately shows the Marines armed with bolt action rifles. While Garand rifles were available, they were just not available in numbers to issue to the Marines before setting sail.
Roy Roberts, who plays Capt. Cross, seems to have doubled as the voice of the radio sportscaster.
The 'Daily Variety' of 28 August 1945 reported that the 20th Century Fox Studio was involved with litigation from Donald Petersen in relation to injuries that he allegedly sustained during production of this movie. It was alleged that Petersen suffered broken ear drums from a dynamite explosion that was exploded prematurely. Petersen was awarded $15,000 in damages in a jury trial which was then appealed by the studio.
This film was the first time that actor Richard Conte was credited as Richard Conte. This was his second feature film. In his first, Heaven with a Barbed Wire Fence, he had been billed as Nicholas Conte.
