One of a number of films made in order to deliberately downplay the extent to which Italy had supported Nazi Germany.
The film is based on a true World War II incident that occurred when the German army was making its last stand in Italy.
The credited director in English-language prints is Phil Karlson, but Italian prints list Karlson and Franco Cirino as co-directors. Cirino was a second-unit director who worked with American directors on films made in Italy and the Mediterranean. He also occasionally worked as an actor in them.
Sylva Koscina replaced Sophia Loren after she withdrew from the movie.
During World War II Sylva Koscina was a child in Yugoslavia and noted that she became very emotionally involved in this film because she saw so much death and destruction caused by the war there.
"Von Hecht: [after being shot in the arm by Aldo] Just what I need. A shoe shine. Congratulations. You've just captured a whole live German."
"General Von Kleber: General Rutke is taking over a Panzer division in this push. I could arrange to have you posted to his staff. You've been asking for a transfer back to the fighting forces. Von Hecht: No thank you. Where I am now, suddenly there is good hunting. I'd hate to give that up. General Von Kleber: You really are your father's son. Von Hecht: Thank you, General. How many men can be sure of that?"
