Movie Goof (boom mic visible): As Connor and Tracy exit the library, the boom mic is reflected on the windshield of Tracy's car.
James Stewart had no plans to attend the Oscar ceremony the year he was nominated for this film. Just before the ceremony began, he received a call at home "advising" him to slip into a dinner jacket and attend the ceremony. He did and he received the award for Best Actor. This was in the days before an accounting firm kept the Oscar voting results secret.
"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on March 17, 1947 with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart reprising their film roles.
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): SPOILER: When Mike sings "Over the Rainbow" to Tracy after the late night swim, his lips and mouth do not match the words of the song until the close-up shot.
