Facts about Attack:

Eddie Albert was approaching his fiftieth birthday at the time of filming, making him much older than the character he played. However, director Robert Aldrich felt it didn't matter since Albert looked young for his age.
According to the 19 February 1956 edition of 'The New York Times', the production budget cost for this movie was US $ 850,000.
Director Robert Aldrich said of this film in Edwin T. Arnold's biography 'The Films and Career of Robert Aldrich': "My main anti-war argument was not the usual 'war is hell,' but the terribly corrupting influence that war can have on the most normal, average human beings, and the terrible things it makes them capable of that they wouldn't be capable of otherwise." Aldrich added that this film was meant to be a "sincere plea for peace."
