* HarsherInHindsight: Actor James Murray was later brought down by alcoholism, became penniless and suffered an untimely death when he fell (or, by some accounts, jumped) into the Hudson River and drowned at the age of 35. The scenes of his character broken and desperate seem cruelly prophetic. Creator/KingVidor himself recalled meeting Murray begging on the streets and was shocked at his condition. He tried helping him but Murray ran away. Towards the end of his life, Vidor was planning to make a film about Murray but he couldn't get money.

* {{Narm}}: While the editing of the daughter's death was extremely good for the time, the driver's expression and steering makes it unintentionally seem as though he's determined to run her over, rather than trying to avoid her.
