* AwardSnub: Sessue Hayakawa, the first Asian actor to become a movie star in Hollywood, missed out on his only chance to win an Oscar that recognised his achievements - losing out to musical comedy star Red Buttons [[TomHanksSyndrome in a dramatic turn]] for ''{{Film/Sayonara}}''. And since Creator/MiyoshiUmeki became the first Asian actor to win an Oscar that night for the same film, it could have been a double victory for them.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: The destruction of the bridge was done for real without special effects. And that is a real train on there.

** Royce and one the Thai lady porters are set up as possibly being romantically interested in one another. While it's not a major element of the story, it's remarkable that this is portrayed in a positive and light-hearted manner when interacial relationships were still frowned upon and illegal in the United States.
