Halls of Montezuma (film) - Additional Notes

Additional Notes

This movie was the last American made World War II film for Lewis Milestone. After this film, he made other films, from European films to the caper movie Ocean's 11. The final war movie he made was the acclaimed Korean War film Pork Chop Hill, starring Gregory Peck. Of the 'Montezuma' stars, three went to TV: after he played Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters, Philip Ahn played Shoalin Master Kan on the TV show Kung Fu. Jack Webb went on to produce and star in Dragnet, and Martin Milner did different TV shows after doing film. He appeared on Adam-12 and Swiss Family Robinson. Contrary to the information in the introduction to this article, "Sands of Iwo Jima" was not produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; Zanuck produced for Twentieth Century-Fox Pictures in this era, and "Sands" was a Republic Pictures production. It was produced by Edmund Grainger, and directed by Allan Dwan.

    “Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
    Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
    Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
    Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
