    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although Gregory Peck had reservations about the film's script and production quality, he later called it one of his favorite roles, if not one of his favorite movies.
    • Goofs
      Shortly after MacArthur's escape from the Philippines in the spring of 1942, he complains that the President and the Chiefs of Staff are not sending him enough troops, supplies, and equipment to carry on his war against the Japanese. He says that priorities are instead being given to commanders in other theaters, including Gen Patton in North Africa. However, Patton's troops did not arrive in Africa until November 1942.
    • Quotes
      • President Sergio Osmena: You see, General, my people are going to laugh if I fell in deep water. I cannot swim!
      • General Douglas MacArthur: That's not so bad, Mr. President. Everyone's about to see that I can't walk on water.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK DVD issue omits the sequence where MacArthur meets Emperor Hirohito, but instead, adds to the ending. The film now ends with MacArthur and his wife watch a TV transmission of the presidential inauguration of Eisenhower MacArthur's comment: "He will turn out fine. He was the best clerk that ever served under me"), followed by the end of MacArthur's farewell speech at West Point. The subsequent credits starts to roll slightly earlier than previously.
