Production.
Production Pre-production.
"Cross of Iron" was a joint Anglo-German production between EMI Films and ITC Entertainment of London and Rapid Films GmbH from Munich. Although the German producer, Wolf C. Hartwig had secured a budget of $4 million dollars, only a fraction of it was available as pre-production started. This created delays on location because local services and film crews demanded payment before commencing work.
