The Bridge on the River Kwai/Trivia
- Billing Displacement: While Alec Guinness' Nicholson and Sessue Hayakawa's Saito are clearly the film's most important characters, both are billed beneath William Holden (Shears) and Jack Hawkins (Warden).
- Defictionalization: The Thai government renamed a stretch of the Mae Klong river the Khwae so that tourists could go see the bridge on it.
- Method Acting: When Nicholson is released from the Punishment Box and walks back to Saito's place, Alec Guinness imitated the way his son Matthew walked when he was recovering from polio.
