What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the true story of a romantic couple that Hawks met in Mexico while scouting locations for the film «Viva Villa!», ultimately directed by Jack Conway.
- Director Howard Hawks (1896-1977) personally knew a pilot who parachuted from a burning plane. His second pilot died on impact, and he was ostracized by other pilots for the rest of his life.
- Richard Barthelmess (1895-1963) had scars from an infection contracted during plastic surgery. They could only be concealed with heavy makeup, but Hawks convinced the actor not to wear makeup because the scars suited his character. He also instructed that his character be made shorter, further emphasizing his feelings of inadequacy.
- Rita Hayworth (1918-1987) couldn't manage to play drunk, so the director instructed Cary Grant (1904-1986) to dump a bucket of water over her and then dry her hair, and try again.
- Except for the rain, the scene of the character's death performed by Thomas Mitchell (1892-1962) is an exact reproduction of the scene of the pilot's death that Howard Hawks once witnessed firsthand.
- The film is based on the true story of a romantic couple Hawks met in Mexico while scouting locations for the film “Viva Villa!”, ultimately directed by Jack Conway.
