Warners would produce a similar-themed film, Storm Warning, in 1951 about a for-profit hate group similar to the Black Legion. In that film the organization was obviously supposed to be the Ku Klux Klan, although it was never specifically called the Ku Klux Klan and was only referred to as "the Klan".

The movie that Betty and Ed go to see early in the film, "All For Love", is not an actual movie. However, the posters for other films outside the theater are for actual Warner Brothers pictures: Bengal Tiger, Jailbreak, Public Enemy's Wife and The Big Noise.
