Movie Goof (factual errors): At the conference of German officers in the desert, the senior German officer says that they were expecting a frontal attack from the Allies at any time. From the following stock footage it is apparent that they are referring to EL Alamein. However, the Germans were completely unaware of Allied plans and were taken completely by surprise.
Marlon Brando's son whose birth name was Christian Brando [See: Christian Brando] was named (first name) after Marlon Brando's character in this movie, Lt. Christian Diestl, who was a production baby during this movie. Some reports also state he was named after Marlon Brando's friend, Christian Marquand.
Dean Martin stepped into the role of Michael Whiteacre when Tony Randall became indisposed. It was a move that solidified Martin's solo film career after his split from Jerry Lewis two years earlier.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Diestl visits Hardenburg at the Hospital the background changes as he walks into the room: a screen appears behind him after he enters the room and stops.
