According to a popular, but apocryphal, story, when Wayne delivered his line for the first time, director George Stevens cut the action and told Wayne: "You're referring to the Son of God here, Duke. You've got to deliver the line with a little more awe." Whereupon Wayne announced on the next take: "Aw, truly this was the Son of God."
