Trivia
Fox publicity referred to Sturges' innovative voice-over narration used with montage as "narratage."

For many years, this was a "lost" film. When critic Pauline Kael wrote her "New Yorker" article "Raising Kane" claiming this film heavily influenced the development of Citizen Kane (1941), she could only reference it from memory as prints had not been available for 30 years. When the film was "rediscovered", it was discovered that Kael had overstated her case: It was not the example of classic cinema she had claimed it was, and its influences on "Kane" likely were minimal.

A suit was brought against the Fox Film Corporation by Robert Maxwell, leader of The Maxwell Choristers, for alleged damages caused by the dubbing of their voices with "Nearer My God, to Thee," in a scene in which they were singing "Ave Maria." He claimed his reputation was damaged by not using their original voices. Although he later dropped the suit and the scene was eventually cut, the song is heard in the opening scene without the choir being shown.

As a boy, Tom cuts the back of his right hand badly. We are shown in a later scene that the scar is prominent as an old man. Yet on scenes showing him in between there is no scar.

Quotes
Henry: [narrating] When I was a kid, we didn't have radios and moving pictures and automobiles and all things like kids have today. We had fun just the same. And the place we liked best was the swimming hole.
