!!This film features examples of:
* TheFaceless: We see Johnny lying in a hospital bed, but we never see his face.
* MinimalistCast: The film only features Jennifer Jones's character and Johnny.
* NoNameGiven: The nurse's aide's name isn't mentioned.
* TitleDrop: At the end of the nurse's aide's speech.
-->'''Nurse's Aide:''' So let's all of us do a little something extra too, and buy that Bond beyond the one we've planned for. Surely that isn't too much to do... for the fighting generation.
