At the 44 minute mark as the Craig's limousine is rounding the corner on the cemetery road there are a few generic cars that can be seen in the bsckground; however as the shot changes to the limousine coming to a stop, in the background there is now a very noticeable black TransAm that looks like KITT from Knight Rider. William Daniels who plays Dr. Craig also provided the voice for KITT on his days off from filming St. Elsewhere.
The title is of the novel The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer. It was based on his experiences during World War II. It was published in 1948 and later adapted into a movie of the same title in 1958.
