* DyeingForYourArt: Shelley Winters gained twenty-five pounds, and then had to lose fifteen as the film progressed.
* EnforcedMethodActing: For the scene where the American plane passes by, George Stevens had trouble getting genuine reactions out of the cast. So he had a record player play "The Star Spangled Banner" on set to provoke the patriotism in the American actors.
* ExecutiveMeddling:
** The studio insisted the film be shot in Cinemascope, which George Stevens was not happy with. He wanted to create a sense of claustrophobia in the audience - something that the wide spectrum of Cinemascope prevented. As such, he deliberately added columns to either side of the set, in order to make the frame smaller.
** After the film lost money at the Box Office, Fox also had it trimmed by twenty minutes.
* FakeNationality: Several American actors play Dutch characters.
