This film biopic is about the experiences of Marine hero Pfc.

Production

Gramercy Pictures bought the screen rights of Gabaldon's story in June 1957. Previously, it had been featured on the TV show This Is Your Life.

The bulk of fiancing for the film – $650,000 – came from American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres, a theatre chain. They noted the success of To Hell and Back (1955) with Audie Murphy, and sought out another true life World War Two story that might make a good film. They came across the story of Guy Gabaldon and decided to invest in it. Jeffrey Hunter had just been in the popular war film In Love and War.

Phil Karlson called it "one of the most important pictures that I may ever make because it was the true story of the Nisei, what happened in this country. But Allied Artists, even at that point, looked at it as a great war story that you could make for a price. They had no idea what I was doing."

The film was shot on location in Okinawa.
