* AwardSnub: This film is perhaps the most famous film to receive the benefits of an awards snub by beating out both ''Film/{{The Maltese Falcon|1941}}'' (considered one of the greatest examples of FilmNoir) and ''Film/CitizenKane'' (the perennial holder of "best movie ever" honors) at the same time. In spite of the fact that it's actually a pretty well-regarded film in its own right, it will NeverLiveItDown.
* ConsolationPrize: The film's UsefulNotes/AcademyAward win is widely seen as a make-up for Creator/JohnFord's ''Film/{{Stagecoach}}'' losing out to ''Film/GoneWithTheWind''.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Both of the Morgan parents have quite a bit of fans, but for very different reasons.

** Huw -- who was 10 years old at the time -- coming to help rescue his mother from a slippery fall into an icy pond. He keeps her head above the freezing water, until his brothers (returning from the above-mentioned meeting) see them and pull them out. Yes , it paralyzed his legs for a few months, but the sole fact that he was willing to risk his life for his mother definitely deserves a mention. Pretty impressive for such a young age.
