• In 1952, the real Lúcia, the last surviving Fátima visionary, saw the movie and said that she did not like it.
• The principal character in the movie aside from the children, Hugo da Silva, their agnostic, fortune-hunting but lovable friend played by Gilbert Roland, was a fictional person, introduced to soften the impact of a sectarian movie on the wider public. He does not appear in "La Señora de Fátima," the 1951 black-and-white Spanish film version of the story made just prior to this one.
• Rather than letting Susan Whitney speak her own lines in the final scene, when she appears with stage makeup to age her appearance so as to appear as Lucia did at age 47, the filmmakers dubbed in the very recognizable voice of Angela Clarke who also dubs the Virgin Mary.
