It was nominated for Academy Awards for Cinematography and Art Direction.

Trivia

George Segal's character is seen wearing the shoulder sleeve insignia of the U.S. Army's elite 34th Infantry Division, the feared Red Bulls. The 34ID fought the Germans during WWII, not the Japanese. It is highly unlikely that a member of the 34ID would have been transferred to the CBI or Pacific theater and seen action against the Japanese, and then get captured.
