Trivia

Film debut of Ann B. Davis. Also first film of Leslie Parrish.

The names of the U.S. Senators portrayed in the film were fictitious, due to most of those Senators still being alive at the time of the film's production and release in 1955.

Eleanor Audley, the voice of Cinderella (1950)'s stepmother and Sleeping Beauty (1959), is in a brief scene as a member of Peter's Atlanta Church Congregation.

Along with Disney's Treasure Island (1950), filmmaker Ron Shelton claimed this as his favorite film.

Popular Dialogues

"The Rev. Peter Marshall: Catherine, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the blessing. The Lord knows I'm not grateful for turkey hash and I can't fool him."

"The Rev. Peter Marshall: Finding someone else that thinks like you do, always puts me in mind of two ships flashing their lights on a lonely sea. They may be putting into different ports, but for a moment they knew one another was there."
