This movie is based on the 1955 romantic war novel, “The Sixth of June,” by Lionel Shapiro. Shapiro had been a World War II Canadian war correspondent for 'The Montreal Gazette'. He actually landed with the Canadian armed forces on D-Day for the the Allied invasion of Sicily, Salerno and Juno Beach. 'The Sixth of June' novel won the Governor General's Award for English Language Fiction. This movie was originally going to be filmed in England but it ended up being filmed in California, USA, on location there and at the Fox Studio back-lot. Jean Simmons was originally cast in the lead female acting role as Valerie Russell but the part eventually went to Dana Wynter. The naval scenes were shot at the former Long Beach Naval Shipyard at Terminal Island (between the San Pedro district of Los Angeles and the city of Long Beach) whilst the beach landing was filmed at California's Point Dume, a promontory on the Malibu Coast of the Pacific Ocean.
