Line 6:
** Omnipresent character actor Charles Lane plays one of Potter's henchmen. You know, the one who warns him, "One of these days this bright young man is going to be asking George Bailey for a job!"
** Uncle Billy is [[Gone with the Wind|Gerald O'Hara]].
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: If you've seen the uncensored ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' shorts, you might notice Ma Bailey's maid is played by the woman who voiced Mammy Two-Shoes, Lillian Randolph (she was also well-known to radio audiences of the era for playing Birdie, the housekeeper on ''[[The Great Gildersleeve]]'').
* [[Throw It In]]: In the movie, Uncle Billy staggers away drunk from a party, you hear a crashing metal sound, and (offscreen) he calls back "I'm all right! I'm alllllllll right!". We presume that Uncle Billy stumbled into some garbage cans. In fact, the crashing noise was from a stagehand dropping equipment, and Thomas Mitchell's "I'm all right!" was an ad-lib.
** And the stagehand got a bonus.
