• It only took 59 days to shoot the movie.
• Roark (Gary Cooper)'s courtroom speech was the longest in film history up until that time.
• Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Cameron smashes the window in Roark's office, you can see that the flag outside the window flying in the skyline is not rippling and therefore is part of a photographic backdrop rather than a live location.
• The original novel was a favorite among America's armed forces, during World War II. The lengthy book helped pass the time when things were slow, and it provided inspiration to the troops, to survive the war and build their own dreams after they got home.
