- Legend has it that Frank Sinatra got the role in the movie because of his speculated Mafia connections, and that this was the basis for a similar subplot in The Godfather. The truth is more likely to have been that Sinatra's then-wife Ava Gardner persuaded studio head Harry Cohn's wife to go to bat for him, the version related by Kitty Kelley in her comprehensive Sinatra biography.
- The famous beach lovemaking scene between Lancaster and Kerr was lampooned in the movie Airplane!, where Robert Hays' and Julie Hagerty's characters become covered in seaweed.
- The U.S. Army withheld its cooperation from the production until the producers agreed to several modifications, most noticeably the fate of Captain Holmes.
- William Holden, who won the Best Actor Oscar for Stalag 17, felt that he didn't deserve it. Holden thought Burt Lancaster should have won for this film.
