A number of references suggest the possibility that Ward Bond appears in a bit part in this film, and it has also been rumored that J. Farrell MacDonald does as well. However, frame-by-frame analysis indicates that neither appears in any capacity, and indeed both were substantially well known at the time, and it's unlikely that they would do a small bit part even in a film for their friend John Ford. In one scene, in the fish-and-chips shop, an extra appears who has a slight resemblance to Bond, but it is definitely not him. J. Farrell MacDonald's name might well have been mistaken for J.M. Kerrigan, who does indeed have a substantial role. Kerrigan, though, is already billed in the credits. It must be concluded, therefore that, despite rumors to the contrary, Bond and MacDonald are not in the film.
