The film was shot in two versions, a Vietnamese and a Tagalog version, and with each version's main characters played by its own set of native actors. Two battalions of Vietnamese soldiers were engaged to act as extras for the film.
The Vietnamese version, "Chung Toi Muon" was a blockbuster in Vietnam, while the dubbed English version, "Let Us Live", was viewed at international art theaters up to the mid-80s.
