* {{Anvilicious}}: The movie's message has two components: one, anti-Semitism (and prejudice in general) is wrong; and two, that it's no good to believe that and not ''do'' anything about it. Yeah, the film comes off as heavy-handed, but in 1947, [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped it needed saying]].

* FanPreferredCouple: A lot of modern viewers wish that Phil had chosen the bolder, snappier Anne rather than have a literally last-minute reconciliation with Kathy, who they find more of a typical love interest, but blander than Anne, who, unlike Kathy, consistently supported Phil even when she believed him to be Jewish and was willing to call out Kathy's hypocrisy.

* ValuesResonance: Though all of the themes on race are a bit {{Anvilicious}} in the film, the multitude of messages -- racism in its different forms, its effect on children, its detriments to finding jobs and housing, its effects on family dynamics during marriage, and its appearance in different social dynamics, and society's shortcomings in fighting it -- is still extremely relevant today.

* RomanticPlotTumor: A great deal of screen time is dedicated to Phil's FourthDateMarriage with Kathy and trying to portray their relationship as TrueLove despite her [[LoveCannotOvercome extreme unwillingness to face]] the ''very temporary'' difficulties of being part of a MalignedMixedMarriage.
