Cicely Tyson commented in a TCM interview that director Martin Ritt's cinematographer (principal cameraman), while shooting the famous "homecoming sequence" with Tyson and co-star Paul Winfield, was so moved by their performances that he was certain he missed framing the action properly in the shots and respectfully asked them to do the difficult scene again. They obliged, but later examination of daily rushes revealed that they got shot and acting perfect the first time, and the first take was a print.
Cicely Tyson is 15 years older than Paul Winfield.
The first film to feature Oscar-nominated performances by two black actors with Paul Winfield nominated for Best Actor and Cicely Tyson for Best Actress. This feat wouldn't be achieved again until What's Love Got to Do with It (1993) 21 years later. The third film to achieve this was Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) 27 years later.
In 2003, ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney (1997) produced a new TV version of The Wonderful World of Disney: Sounder (2003). Kevin Hooks directed, and Paul Winfield played the teacher. (It was one of Winfield's last roles before his death in 2004.)
The Mattel Toy Co. partnered with producer Robert B. Radnitz in the development of the movie.
"David Lee: Miss Johnson? Don't you teach in your school about folk who ain't dead? Camille: Sure! Here's one about a man who's very much alive. Dr. William E.B. DuBois. David Lee: What does he talk about? Camille: Here, I'll read something he said: [reading from "Of the Training of Black Men"] Camille: "The longing of black men must have respect." [pauses to explain to David Lee] Camille: Which means a man and a woman are human and must be treated that way. [continues reading] Camille: "The rich and bitter depth of their experience, the unknown treasures of their inner life, the strange rendings of nature they have seen, may give the world new points of view and make their loving, living, and doing precious to all human hearts. And to themselves in these days that try their souls, the chance to soar in the dim blue air above smoke is to their finer spirits boon and guerdon for what they lose on earth by being black." David Lee: You're a nice lady, Miss Johnson."
"Nathan Lee: You know, son: there ain't no dog as good as Sounder. In all the years we've been tracking coons and possums in these woods, he ain't never tore one of 'em up yet. No, he always brought 'em back whole and healthy. Now you see? Now that's the difference between a hound dog that's mean and dirty, to one that's great - like old Sounder here."
