It was the last in a seven-picture commitment between Warwick and Columbia. Sean Kelly was a South African actor who had been signed by Warwick to a seven-year contract. In the opening battle Leo Genn commands an AEC Armoured Car and wears the beret of the Cherry Pickers. No Time to Die featured authentic war time Cromwell tanks as well as post-war Centurions and Charioteers as both British and German tanks. The Queens Bays Tank Regiment assisted in production of the film. In September, Mature left England for six weeks of location filming in the Libyan Desert, near Tripoli. In August 1957 Victor Mature signed a two-picture contract with Warwick, No Time to Die and The Man Inside. Jeff Chandler turned down the role (and fee of $200,000). Van Johnson, who had just made a film with Young, was a leading contender. In April 1957 Terence Young arrived in Hollywood to find two American leading men for the film. Īlan Ladd was mentioned as a possibility as star. The script eventually became about five Allied soldiers, two Englishmen, a Pole, an American and an Australian, who escape an Italian POW camp in the Second World War.

In March 1957 Merle Miller was hired to rewrite the script. Sy Bartlett was assigned to write the script. Warwick Productions bought the film rights in 1955 and tried to get Montgomery Clift to star. The film was based on a 1954 novel by Ronald Kemp.
