The pivotal scene in which Drake McHugh wakes up to find his legs amputated posed an acting challenge for Reagan who was supposed to say "Where's the rest of me?" in a convincing manner. In ''City of Nets'', [[Otto Friedrich]] noted that the movie had a formidable array of acting talent and the scene in which Reagan saw that his legs were gone was his "one great opportunity." Reagan recalled in his memoir that he had "neither the experience nor talent to fake it," so he undertook exhaustive research, talking to doctors and to people with disabilities and practicing the line every chance he got.<ref name='Friedrich'/>

On the night before the scene was shot, he had little sleep so he looked suitably worn out. Sam Wood shot the scene without rehearsal. He called out for Randy which was not in the script but Ann Sheridan was there and responded. The scene was extremely effective and there was no need for another take.<ref name='Friedrich'/>
