Although he played the part of Lt. jg Doug Roberts on Broadway,

Tyrone Power
. But director
John Ford
insisted on Fonda - they had made several successful films together - and would not direct the film without him. Since the producers needed the director with 6 Academy Awards to helm the film, they gave in to him. Ironically, once filming began, Ford and Fonda saw eye to eye on almost nothing. Fonda had played the character on Broadway for 2 years, and felt he knew the character inside out. Ford had other ideas and on his set, you saw things his way or you saw the door. Things came to a head when, during a meeting with producers, Fonda and Ford to clear the air, Ford sucker punched Fonda. Ford left the production soon after (Fords war-related health reasons were given as the official explanation).

Joshua Logan
, the director of the Broadway play, took over directing duties and finished the film. The decision was made to keep Fords and Leroys name in the final credits.
