| Trivia | At the start of filming, Gregory Peck disliked General Douglas MacArthur. After filming he changed his mind, understanding the challenges MacArthur had faced. He also stated he believed President Harry S. Truman was wrong to relieve MacArthur of his command in Korea in April 1951. See more » |
| Goofs | In the opening scene of the bombardment of the 1950 amphibious landing at Inchon, an air strike is depicted where clearly the silhouette of an F4 Phantom is shown, an aircraft that didn't enter service until 1960. See more » |
