* FatalMethodActing: {{Averted}}. Raymond Lovell nearly drowned in the scene where the commandeered floatplane crashes. Even those who could swim (which Lovell could not) became flustered when the aircraft sank faster than anticipated; the stink bomb that was thrown in to "heighten the turmoil" added greatly to the chaos. A member of the camera crew jumped in and saved the actor.

* TheOtherMarty: Elisabeth Bergner was originally cast in the role of Anna, the Hutterite woman. Initially, the Hutterites were only too happy to assist with the filming until one day Bergner was spotted by a Hutterite woman smoking and painting her nails, which so incensed the woman, that she slapped Bergner full in the face. Filming was halted until Creator/MichaelPowell pled with the community to let them continue. Bergner was eventually replaced by the much younger Creator/GlynisJohns (although Bergner can be seen in some long shots). It also transpired that the main reason Bergner had joined the movie was to get to America, as a German Jew living in England, she felt that the Nazis were a little too close for comfort, and so safely emigrated to the U.S.
