- TriviaSo convinced was she that she would lose out, Jessica Tandy had a $100 bet with her agent that she wouldn't win the Oscar for Best Actress. When she paid up on Oscar night, she told him that it was the best bet she had ever lost.
- GoofsThe bombing of The Temple in Atlanta took place in 1958, yet is shown as occurring in 1966 or later (because it is shown after the scene in which Boolie receives an award in 1966). Hoke is also driving mid-1960s Cadillac in the scene.
- Quotes

- Hoke Colburn: Yes'm.
- Daisy Werthan: You're my best friend.
- Hoke Colburn: No, go on Miss Daisy.
- Daisy Werthan: No, really, you are...

- Alternate versionsThe laserdisc edition is missing about 5 seconds from the end of the shot when Hoke and Daisy are getting ready to go to the MLK dinner. In the full version (about 79 minutes), he closes the door and begins to walk around the car; the laserdisc cuts away once Daisy is seated and begins to settle herself.
