Col. Herron Ray Montgomery as Lieutenant James Philbrook as Sue's Boyfriend Production Jerry Wald, who had a deal with Fox, bought the screen rights to The Big War in March 1957. It was one of a number of war novels bought by Fox at the time, including The Young Lions, The Hunters and The Enemy Below. At one stage the film was known as Hell Raisers before being titled In Love and War. Wald wanted Lee Remick, Richard Widmark and Ben Gazzara to play the leads. Bradford Dillman and Robert Wagner were cast in April 1958. Jeff Hunter and France Nuyen were cast in June. Filming started in June 1958. Dunne says filming started with "half a script" and he had to do writing on location in the Pacific. On his comedy album 1960 or Look Forward In Anger, Sahl said he wrote 16 pages of dialogue for his character and the other Marines but most of the material was edited from the final print. Director Phillip Dunne asked the producer Jerry Wald why Sahl's name was not on the posters or advertisements. Wald responded that he was told that there was nothing in Sahl's contract that required him to receive any billing. Wald signed Sahl on to a personal contract with the intention of casting him as a beatnik in The Best of Everything (1959) See also List of American films of 1958 References External links 1958 films American war drama films American World War II films 20th Century Fox films 1950s war drama films Films about the United States Marine Corps Films based on American novels Films based on military novels Films directed by Philip Dunne Films scored by Hugo Friedhofer Pacific War films Films with screenplays by Edward Anhalt 1958 drama films CinemaScope films
