Since the story's action was tied to the chapel's construction, a crew had to work through the night to keep up with its "progress" in the film. The actual building was real and could have stood for decades, but because it was built on rented property, it had to be demolished immediately after the filming was completed.
Sidney Poitier gave up his usual salary and agreed to do the film for a smaller amount and a percentage of the profits. He won the Best Actor Oscar for his efforts.
Sidney Poitier's singing in "Amen" was dubbed by Jester Hairston, who also composed the song. Hairston is also known for playing Rolly on Sherman Hemsley's television sitcom Amen (1986).
Filmed on-location in Tucson. The church doors were borrowed from the Chapel in Sasabe, Arizona.
Shot on-location in Arizona in only fourteen days.
"Homer Smith: Gringo? I don't know if that's a step up or a step down from some other things I've been called."
"Mother Maria: [the morning after a fiesta] Well, you are awake? Homer Smith: Yeah, I guess so. Mother Maria: Good. [throws a cup of cold water in his face] Homer Smith: Why'd you go and do that? Mother Maria: The women last night, they say that is the only thing when a man has been mixing wine with tequila! [walks away] Homer Smith: I'm gonna mix you with tequila!"
