    • Trivia
      This was Ethel Barrymore's final film before her death on June 18, 1959 at the age of 79.
    • Goofs
      When Johnny (Stuart Whitman) is telling his story about killing his friend. He states "I'll tell you a bedtime story of a brave Marine who killed a man. His best friend. Oh I was a good soldier." A Marine would never ever refer to himself as a soldier. They are Marines. And they always call themselves, their friends and anyone else who's ever been in the Corps -MARINES!. Never soldiers.

    Great opportunity for Stuart Whitman
    Stuart Whitman plays a tough ex marine who enrolls in a small college and becomes a classic anti-hero. This movie has heart. Sentimental ending resolves the conflict. They just don't make movies like this anymore.
