** Rob Stephenson was supposed to appear in more scenes, and conspicuously [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse vanishes from the film halfway through]]. This is because Michael Hall's contract ran out during filming, and Samuel Goldwyn didn't want to pay more money to rehire him.

* OneHitWonder: Harold Russell's film debut. It netted him ''two'' Oscars, the only time two Oscars have ever been awarded for the same performance.[[note]]The Academy's Board of Governors wanted to recognize Russell's performance in the film, but thought that as a non-professional in his first role he would never win a competitive award. So they gave him an honorary Oscar for "bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans." Then he won Best Supporting Actor.[[/note]] It would be 34 years before he had another film credit; his two remaining credits were very minor roles in since-forgotten movies.
