* ActorSharedBackground: Creator/GaryCooper identified very strongly with his character:
-->Sergeant York and I had quite a few things in common, even before I played him in screen. We both were raised in the mountains - Tennessee for him, Montana for me - and learned to ride and shoot as a natural part of growing up.

* DawsonCasting: Creator/GaryCooper was ten years older than the real Sgt. York was when he joined the army. Averted with Joan Leslie, who was 16 when she made this film, the same age as the real Gracie.
* DeletedScene: The original film included a scene that featured the dance Alvin and Gracie were going to. It was cut in the theatrical release but the York family still has a copy of the movie with that deleted scene.
