Transcription

Production

The first season of the television show was filmed on location in North Africa with many actual Legionnaires and their installations featuring in the show.[3] With increased danger to the crew, the series moved to Italy. The studio was one owned by Sophia Loren and was just outside the gates of the US Army base, Camp Darby, near Pisa.[citation needed]

One of the producers of the show was Harry Saltzman.[citation needed] The executive producer was Gilbert A. Ralston. Directors were Marcel Crevenne, Sam Newfield, Pierre Schwab, and Jean Yarbrough. Writers were Jack Andrews, Gene Levitt, and William N. Robson.[3]

Three episodes were spliced together as a film released in the United Kingdom called Desert Outpost (1954) directed by Sam Newfield.[4]
