Trivia
Roger Corman came up with the idea for the film during a visit to the dentist, when he read a magazine article about Dubrovnik. To take his mind off the pain while the dentist was working, he tried to create a story which could be filmed there. After leaving the dentist, he returned to his office and wrote the first treatment for the script.

Goofs
Aside from the military uniforms, all clothing worn by both the cast and the extras is current fashion, circa early 1960s; Mia Massini's hair styles are strictly 1964.

Quotes
Maj. Richard Mace: Pretty clumsy and rather childish. Now, you've had your fun, but if this happens in action, God Help you!

A shorter, cheaper, better version of THE DIRTY DOZEN

An army major leads a rag-tag band of convicts on a daring mission behind enemy lines. THE DIRTY DOZEN, you ask? No, THE SECRET INVASION, a solid Roger Corman programmer released two years earlier, with a talented cast led by Stewart Granger, Mickey Rooney, Raf Vallone, Ed Byrnes, William Campbell and Henry Silva. Far less predictable than DOZEN, this film has some dynamite performances (Byrnes, Rooney and Silva are especially good), great action, and some surprising plot twists. See it!
