Did you know
• The proper British title for this British film is "No Time To Die"; it was shown under that title in the UK in the late 1950s. However, 21st-century showings of the film on British television have reverted to its American release title of "Tank Force".
• One of six movies that Victor Mature made for the British production company Warwick Films. Warwick was set up by Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli, and its main purpose was that it offered a European lifeline to fading Hollywood stars such as Mature, Robert Taylor and Alan Ladd.
• The length of the desert shoot was six weeks of filming on location near Tripoli in the Libyan desert in Libya in North Africa.
