A Different Name
The character played by Cassavetes has a different name if you chance to be viewing The Dirty Dozen in Spanish, so keep that in mind when watching the film in English. He is known as Franchi in Spain, despite the fact that he is known as Franko in the original version of the film. There were calls for the character’s renaming due of the character’s likeness to Francisco Franco, the dictator who ruled Spain at the time of the film’s debut, in 1967.

A Muted Guitar
According to Lopez’s portrayal of Jimenez, the character appeared to have taken along an old guitar in order to provide entertainment for the other twelve passengers. Towards the end of the hour-long performance, a six-string guitar is brought out to play The Bramble Bush for the audience members. Although his hand can be seen playing the instrument in one of the photographs, there is no music audible from the rest of them.
