About Advance to the Rear

Advance to the Rear is a 1964 American Western comedy film directed by George Marshall and starring Glenn Ford, Stella Stevens, and Melvyn Douglas. Set in the American Civil War, the film is based on the 1957 novel Company of Cowards by Jack Schaefer, whose inspiration was an article by William Chamberlain, published in The Saturday Evening Post in 1956. Chamberlain recounts the apocryphal Civil War stories of "Company Q", a unit composed of coward soldiers who are given a second chance to prove their bravery. The film had the novel title in pre-production and when released in the United Kingdom. However, the novel had none of the comedic elements of the film, which retained only the basic idea of a unit formed out of men who had been court-martialed for cowardice and sent out west as well as some character names. The story may have been the inspiration for the later ABC-TV sitcom F Troop (1965-1967). Joe Brooks, who appears uncredited as Union trooper Private Joe Bannerman, also starred in F Troop.
