Incredible story! Their own doctor said they were through - and then they came up off the ground to batter their way to glory across 500 jungle miles of terror behind the enemy lines!"; "So you've killed a lot and you've bled a lot and your guts are wracked and your nerves are mauled and an inch is a mile and an hour is forever.... Man, your war has just begun - you're one of Merrill's Marauders"; "How they fought those last 500 miles will remain forever in your memory!"; "The men who 'couldn't' go on -- the mission that 'couldn't' be done -- the picture that can't be forgotten!"; "From the book by Charlton Ogburn, Jr.") starring Jeff Chandler (in the title role as Brigadier General Frank D. Merrill; in his final movie role), Ty Hardin, Peter Brown, Will Hutchins, Andrew Duggan, and Claude Akins. Note that Chandler injured his back while making this film, and later died during an operation to repair the damage (his death was later determined to be a result of medical malpractice). He was 42 years old. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 40 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Note that these stills appear in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that they WERE printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So they are original stills from 1962, but they were printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
