Roger Corman came up with the idea for the film during a visit to the dentist, when he read a magazine article about Dubrovnik. To take his mind off the pain while the dentist was working, he tried to create a story which could be filmed there. After leaving the dentist, he returned to his office and wrote the first treatment for the script.
The production shoot for this movie went for six weeks, a total of 36 days.
This movie is considered to have beaten The Dirty Dozen in having the first film story about World War II prisoners recruited to go on an impossible suicide mission in exchange for pardons. "The Dirty Dozen" had the same plot but didn't come out until three years later.
This film had the largest budget Roger Corman had ever had up to this point - approximately $600,000.
This movie was filmed on location in Yugoslavia and specifically Dubrovnik, now part of Croatia.
