- According to producer Frank McCarthy (II), technical consultant to the production D. Clayton James wrote "the most definitive biography ever written about MacArthur." McCarthy said around the time of this movie's theatrical release that "there are at least one hundred and forty biographies or other books dealing with [General Douglas] MacArthur, some written by his idolators, but Dr. James' technical advice really leveled the character off for us in a most objective way. He was a tremendous help in authenticating situations in the screenplay that might otherwise have been deleted for legal reasons."
