Clint Walker Didn’t Play a Famous Scene
Vernon L. Pinkley (Donald Sutherland) was a troop-inspecting general, and it’s an unforgettable scene. However, the imposter was supposed to be Clint Walker’s character, but he refused to do the part! Still, it doesn’t seem to have affected the movie!
Jim Brown Retired
When Jim Brown (the football player-turned-actor) took the part for Robert T. Jefferson, he was under a contract with the Cleveland Browns. He had to retire from football or risk delaying his return to training to film the movie.
