Trivia of Retreat, Hell!

- 'Paul Picerni' (qv) was originally cast as Capt. O'Grady and shot some scenes, but Warner Bros. decided it wanted him in the 'Errol Flynn (I)' (qv) actioner _Mara Maru (1952)_ (qv) instead and replaced him on this picture with 'Lamont Johnson (I)' (qv).

- 'John Wayne (I)' (qv) intended to appear in this film prior to filming _The Quiet Man (1952)_ (qv), but was unable to work it into his schedule.

- When asked if they were retreating, 'Frank Lovejoy' (qv)'s character, Lt. Col Steve Corbett, says, "Retreat, hell! We're not retreating, we're just advancing in a different direction." This was actually said by Maj. Gen. 'O.P. Smith' (qv), who was Commanding General of the 1st Marine Division at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Full Trivia >>
