Trivia: A sign for "US 56" appears in the movie "All the King's Men" on the road where the governor's son crashes his car. (The fictitious state is not identified.) The movie was released in 1949, eight years before the road number was assigned. Interestingly enough, the real US 56 runs through Kansas and Oklahoma and Governor Stark's birthplace was "Kanoma" (Kansas + Oklahoma).

Continuity mistake: In his hotel suite, Stark puts a piece of toast on a plate and spreads jam on it. In the next shot, he is holding the bread and reaching for a plate. (00:56:40)
