Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Grieco directed this under a pseudonym for the Italian market, where Euro-war films were dying but Foreign Legion fetishism persisted.
Tina Aumont was fresh off Fellini's Satyricon — her casting here is pure exploitation of her 'exotic' typecasting, which the film uncomfortably leans into.
