"Some Came Running" is taken from the Gospel of St. Mark (Chapter 10:17), which author James Jones used as an epigraph before the beginning of the novel. It reads: "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Jones also used the image of running to begin the novel's prologue, as Dave Hirsh remembers German soldiers attacking during the Battle of the Bulge; "They came running through the fog across the snow, lumbering, the long rifles held up awkwardly high..."

According to Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin did not get along with Vincente Minnelli. They disliked the way that Minelli directed scenery instead of directing actors.

Goofs
Although period cars were used the Greyhound Bus Dave rides into town on is definitely ca. mid to later '50s. The windows are a dead giveaway.

In Smitty's bar, Jenny's hamburger stays the same size, and even gets bigger, no matter how many bites she takes from it.

Frank Sinatra's Army uniform lacks rank insignia. It is also without brass collar disks (U.S. emblem on one side and an infantry branch emblem on the other). Sinatra's character obviously served in the infantry, since he wears the Combat Infantryman's Badge above his left shirt pocket.

Quotes
Dave Hirsh: A little talent to a writer means about as much as a little talent to a brain surgeon.

Bama Dillert: You take my old man. Now he used to gamble when he was plowin' up his fields, hopin' for a crop. Sometimes he'd get one, sometimes he wouldn't. So figure if a man's gonna gamble, he might as well do it without plowin.'
