Muhammad Ali Showed Up
During the filming of The Dirty Dozen, the group was blessed by the presence of boxing legends. Brown’s friend Muhammad Ali was around at the moment owing to his bout with Brian London. During a break in training, the athletic legend dropped by the set and posed for photos with the cast.
A Stacked Cast
Few war films have a cast as impressive as The Dirty Dozen, especially in terms of Oscar nominations. Each of Ryan, Savalas, Jaeckel, and Cassavetes has received at least one Academy Award nomination. And Borgnine, Kennedy, and Marvin all had the opportunity to give acceptance speeches at the film industry’s most prestigious event.
