* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The story very much reflects the conditions in Italy after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Unemployment and crime were rampant, [[PoliceAreUseless the police generally weren't very competent]], and, as shown in a few scenes, [[UsefulNotes/{{Socialism}} communism]] had a large following in the country. And Creator/RitaHayworth (featured on the posters Antonio is supposed to hang) was at the peak of her international popularity.

* MoneyDearBoy: Lamberto Maggiorani agreed to star in the movie for 600,000 lire since he and his family were poor at the time. He spent his paycheck on new furniture and treated his family to a vacation.
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Believe it or not for Lamberto. After the film's release the factory he worked at decided to lay him off since business was slacking and management believed it was more fair to sack someone they thought had gotten rich from a movie then to lay off multiple people who were broke.
