At the end, when the Jenny barely clears the building, then descends out of sight, then reappears, these scenes were taken from "The Spirit of St. Louis" which starred James Stewart. It was the scene where Lindberg had bought the Jenny and was taking off.
Character Actors Claude Akins and Dub Taylor also appeared together in "The Gambler Returns:The Luck of the Draw", "Movin' On: The Old South Will Rise Again", "Falling from Grace", "Black Gold", and "Laredo: Limit of the Law Larkin"
