Facts about
"Some Came Running" is taken from the Gospel of St. Mark (Chapter 10:17), which author James Jones used as an epigraph before the beginning of the novel. It reads: "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Jones also used the image of running to begin the novel's prologue, as Dave Hirsh remembers German soldiers attacking during the Battle of the Bulge; "They came running through the fog across the snow, lumbering, the long rifles held up awkwardly high..."
Originally, Ginny was not supposed to jump in front of the bullet. Frank Sinatra made the comment, "Let the kid take the bullet; maybe she'll get an Oscar." The script was changed, and Shirley MacLaine received her first Oscar nomination.
