Hal B. Wallis purchased a completed screenplay from Paramount, titled "Ready, Willing and Four F", and used it as the basis for this film. The screenplay was written in 1943 by Frederic I. Rinaldo. Robert Lees received a screenplay credit, while Brian Marlow is credited as story writer.
Some right-wing political figures criticized the film because writers Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo, Brian Marlow and Richard Weil, who is credited with additional dialogue, were accused of being Communists or Communist sympathizers during the "Red Scare" era of the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings, which were convened to ferret out those in the film industry suspected of being Communists or sympathizers.
Parts of the motion picture were photographed with the facilities and personnel of the Infantry Center, Fort Benning, Georgia, particularly the Airborne Department of the Infantry School, assisted by the United States Air Force units stationed there.

McClusky: I'm not half as tough as I sound. Hap Smith: You're not? Sgt. McClusky: Nah! It's just something that comes over me. Sometimes I think I'm my own worst enemy. Hap Smith: No, you're not, Sarge. Not as long as I'm alive."
"Chick Allen: There's nothing to it. You get on a plane, you go up 20,000 feet, jump out, and your chute opens automatically. Hap Smith: Yeah? What if it doesn't open? Chick Allen: Then you pull your reserve parachute. Hap Smith: What if that doesn't open? Chick Allen: Well, we haven't had a complaint yet... from a guy whose shoot didn't open. [Laughs]"
