- Hostility on the Set: James Cagney named Horst Buchholz as the only actor he really hated working with because he was uncooperative and tried all kinds of scene-stealing moves, which Cagney depended on Billy Wilder to correct.I got riled at S. Z. Sakall [...] in Yankee Doodle Dandy for trying to steal a scene, but he was an incorrigible old ham who was quietly and respectfully put in his place by Michael Curtiz. No harm in the old boy. But this Horst Buchholz character I truly loathed. Had he kept on with his little scene-stealing didoes, I would have been forced to knock him on his ass, which I would have very much enjoyed doing.
- Real-Life Relative: The guard at the Brandenburg Gate who is handed a six-pack of Coca-Cola when MacNamara, Fräulein Ingeborg and Schlemmer drive to East Berlin, is played by Helmut Schmid, Lilo Pulver's husband.
