Set in China and based on the 1958 novel of the same name by journalist-historian Theodore H. White, the film follows the attempts of a U.S. Army major to destroy bridges and roads potentially useful to the Japanese during World War II and the Second Sino-Japanese War. White's time covering China for Time magazine during the war led to an interview with former OSS Major Frank Gleason Jr., who served as head of a demolition crew that inspired the story and film. Gleason was later hired as an uncredited technical adviser for the film. ## Credits - **Director:** [Daniel Mann](https://cinepixo.com/people/daniel-mann) - **Screenplay:** [Alfred Hayes](https://cinepixo.com/people/alfred-hayes) - **Original Music Composer:** [Jerome Moross](https://cinepixo.com/people/jerome-moross) - **Producer:** [William Goetz](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-goetz) - **Director of Photography:** [Burnett Guffey](https://cinepixo.com/people/burnett-guffey) ## Cast - [James Best](https://cinepixo.com/people/james-best) - [James Stewart](https://cinepixo.com/people/james-stewart) - [Glenn Corbett](https://cinepixo.com/people/glenn-corbett) - [Rudy Bond](https://cinepixo.com/people/rudy-bond) - [Frank Silvera](https://cinepixo.com/people/frank-silvera) - [Alan Baxter](https://cinepixo.com/people/alan-baxter) - [Harry Morgan](https://cinepixo.com/people/harry-morgan) - [Bill Quinn](https://cinepixo.com/people/bill-quinn) - [Lisa Lu](https://cinepixo.com/people/lisa-lu) - [Mike Kellin](https://cinepixo.com/people/mike-kellin) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
