Anecdotes
All the actors were real peasants from the Bergamo province, in Italy. They had no acting experience at all.

Gaffes
When the children are making music with pots and pans, the 'instruments' of the little girl are switching from one hand to the other when the camera looks at her from the other side.

Citations
[first lines]
Don Carlo: That boy should be going to school.
Batistì: Yes but six kilometers to school and six kilometers back seems a lot.
Don Carlo: He's young, he has strong legs.
Batistì: Just when we're about to have another baby. He could have started helping me around the house.
Don Carlo: He'll help you even more when he's older. Let providence provide for now.
Batistì: I grew up without ever seeing the inside of a school.
Don Carlo: That's not a good reason, and you know it. If God has given your boy a good mind, it's a sign he's expecting more of him. As the boy's father, it's your duty to do God's bidding.

Crédits fous
Quite strangely, the names of the actors are listed as "last name first name", while the names of the rest of the crew are correctly listed as "first name last name".

Versions alternatives
There are two versions of this movie: one which is spoken in the dialect of Bergamo, Italy, and one in which the actors dubbed themselves in Italian.

Speaks to the soul in a voice of simple beauty that declares that money is not the ultimate key to survival.

The "Tree of Wooden Clogs", set at the turn of the last century, is the perfect film to watch as we approach the year 2000. The institutions of religion, marriage, and family have been (sometimes rightfully so) scrutinized and criticized over the last 100 years. However, the "Tree of Wooden Clogs" aptly celebrates these institutions as engines of survival. The slow pace of the film may not be for everyone but the serene simplicity of this film sparks more beauty than most of the high-tech films of today.
