Historical accuracy
The Japanese never were in the New Hebridesin World War II; the American forces arrived in May 1942. The attitudes depicted in the World War II film, made during the Vietnam War era, reflected the 1960s, with one character talking about "long haired conscientious objectors". The poster advertising the film showed a fallen soldier dressed in a 1960s American uniform and holding an M16 rifle.

Filming started in February 1969. The bulk of the film was made on Boracay Island in the Philippines, by the same crew and using many of the same sets as Jack Starrett's The Losers.

He had not insisted contractually that he could return for the Oscar ceremony, so Frank Sin...

Arthur D. Murphy of Variety called it "an okay World War II melodrama ... the net res...

Too Late the Hero was released to DVD by MGM Home Video on May 25, 2004 as a Region 1 widescreen DVD.[citation needed]
Owing to a geographical separation of rights, Too Late the Hero is one of those films with the odd distinction of having been novelized twice for two different marketplaces. The more straight-ahead (and longer) adaptation was written by William Hughes (official byline of Hugh Williams, not to be confused with the actor) and published in the UK by S...
