* {{Anvilicious}}: "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" is about as subtle about its anti-racism message as a brick through a window. Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein were once asked by some Southerners to cut it for being ''too'' on the nose, and retorted that "If you cut that song, you cut the whole musical."

* {{Tearjerker}}: Nellie over hearing on the radio when Emile reports that Lt. Cable has died in combat, before going to static, horrified at the death of her friend and possibly the death of the man she loves runs off on the beach begging the heavens and Emile that he come home to her. Just then Bloody Mary and Liat arrive, asking for Joe.
-->'''Bloody Mary''': Miss...\\
'''Nellie''': Who are you?\\
'''Mary''': I am mother of Liat, she says she will marry no one but Lt. Cable.\\
'''Nellie''': Lt. Cable. ''(overcome with emotion, embracing Liat)'' Oh my darling!

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Or off''stage'' moment, depending on which version you watch. When Cable refuses to marry Liat, her mother Bloody Mary tells him that Liat will marry the French planter Jacques Barriere, a known drunkard who's been angling for her hand, instead, and drags her off. The next time we see Liat, it's just after Cable's death has been announced, and Mary and Liat come upon Nellie who's worried that Emile will meet the same fate. Mary tells Nellie that Liat has refused to marry anyone but Joe Cable. Apparently, there was a moment offstage where the usually rather passive Liat has put her foot down and asserted herself...and we never got to see it.

* In the movie, Emile says he came to the islands as a very young man and makes no apologies for his liaison with a native woman, yet he's shown as middle-aged compared to Nellie, and judging from the ages of his children, their mother must have died no more than about six years earlier. The only way to reconcile this discrepancy is to assume that Emile lived with the children's mother for many years before they were born, or else (as in the book) she was only the latest of several mistresses.
