Quotes from
Col. J. Carter:
[Pessimistically looking at aerial reconnaisance photos] Supply bundles lying where they were dropped. Three dead men to play host to every fly in Burma.
Cpl. Gabby Gordon: [about Nelson to the other men] C'm'on! I'll follow him down the barrel of a cannon!
Mark Williams: [Aghast and outraged at the atrocities] Hey, I've been a newspaperman for thirty years. I thought I'd seen or read about everything that one man can do to another from the torture chambers of the Middle Ages to the gang wars and lynchings of the day. But this... this is different! This was done in cold blood... by people who... who claim to be civilized. Civilzed? They're degenerate immoral idiots! Stinkin' little savages! Wipe 'em out, I say! Wipe 'em out! Wipe 'em off the face of the Earth! Wipe 'em off the face of the earth!

Mark Williams: The bastards! God!

Facts about
Most of the exteriors of Burma were shot at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. The film has an authentic feel to it, thanks to the use of authentic military aircraft and materials. Also, the film includes a large amount of authentic footage taken by U.S. Army Signal Corps cameramen in the China Burma India theater.
One of the minor roles is a character named Negulesco, an in-joke. Director Jean Negulesco was a house-director at Warners and co-worker, who was scheduled to direct Errol Flynn's next picture, _The New Adventures of Don Juan (1948)_. Unforseen delays caused it to be postponed and Negulesco was ultimately replaced.
According to Warners, six cameras were used to shoot the climactic hilltop battle sequence.
