One of the reasons I love this movie so much is because my father was in the cast! He was the bus driver who picked up Sargeant Nevins. He has spoken lines, so I've often wondered why his name did not appear on the credits. He was not at all bothered by that, but his family was. But despite that omission, I loved my Dad's stories of how the movie was made, when and where. His part was filmed in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, near the Valley Forge Veterans Hospital, which I'm sure was part of the whole scene. My Dad was an amateur actor out of Norristown, Pennsylvania. I suppose he had the right build and voice for the part. He actually looked a great deal like Jackie Gleason, and in his bus driver suit, resembled Ralph Cramdon. He was quite proud of his little stint into the movie world.
