** It was originally envisioned as a sprawling three-hour epic filmed in Technicolor and on location in the UK, with Tyrone Power as an adult Huw. UsefulNotes/WorldWarII put the the damper on those plans, so they were scaled back to be more modest and focus on Huw's childhood instead of his journey to adulthood. Creator/TheBBC would later adapt the whole novel in miniseries format.

* CaliforniaDoubling: The film was originally intended to be made in the UK, but UsefulNotes/WorldWarII made that idea all but impossible. So, it was filmed on the 20th Century Fox backlot.

* FollowTheLeader: It was green-lit as Fox's answer to "Gone With the Wind".
