Sidney Lumet used three wide-angle lenses: a 24mm, a 21mm, and an 18mm. He deliberately wanted distortion in the faces, even the close-ups.
The temperatures rarely fell below one hundred fifteen degrees Fahrenheit (forty-six degrees Celsius), and despite the two thousand gallons of pure water that were shipped in for the crew, almost everyone succumbed to dysentery during the shoot.
Filming began on September 14, 1964, in Almería, Spain. As a result, Sir Sean Connery was unable to attend the premiere of Goldfinger (1964), on which he had just completed work.
For the Almería set, located in a sandy wasteland called Gabo de Gata, the punishment hill was constructed, utilizing ten thousand feet of imported tubular steel, and more than sixty tons of stone and timber.
Despite the film's lack of commercial success, Sean Connery considered it a personal triumph, as it led to more challenging acting roles in the future.
"Trooper Joe Roberts: We're all doing time. Even the screws."
"Regimental Sergeant Major Bert Wilson: I'm running this place! Me! I'll say what goes and what don't go! Sergeant Charlie Harris: You ain't running this place, Bert, WILLIAMS is! Look at him! He took over days ago! You STILL haven't caught on!"
