In the scene of Kaiser Wilhelm II (Denys Graham) pinning medals on the soldiers, the Kaiser uses only his right arm and hand, while an aide holds the soldiers' tunics, an historically accurate detail, since the real Kaiser Wilhelm had a stunted and withered left arm that was virtually useless.
Filmed largely in Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia, one of the first US/UK productions to be shot in a Communist country.
When Paul Baumer and his classmates march into the barracks after their joining the German army, they are heard singing. This song is an English version of the World War I (German) patriotic song "Die Wacht am Rhein". The movie version of the lyrics, as performed in English, is not the correct one, however.
Richard Thomas (Paul Baumer) was 28 when he made this movie, making him ten years older than his character.
Ernest Borgnine was 62 when he played Pvt. Stanislaus "Kat" Katczinsky. The character was only about 40 in the novel.
"Muller: Himmelstoss...there's a latrine down the road. Why don't you go take a jump?"
"Paul Baumer: [to a dying Frenchman] If we threw away the guns, the grenades - we could have been brothers, but they never want us to know that."
