- TriviaAlthough it is not identified as such, the musical that Norma and Louise attend is Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake's "Shuffle Along."
- GoofsIn the film, Louise Brooks wears her hair long until her first dance lesson in New York, after which she cuts it into a bob, ostensibly to stand out from her classmates and/or to be more fashionable, as the flapper style popularized women having shorter hair.
In reality, Brooks had worn a bob since she was a child.
- Crazy creditsAfter the first few credits, a few short clips from some of Louise's movies are shown.
Featured review
Professionally Done
A married woman, Norma, in the 30s decides to chaperone a young girl, Louise, from Wichita to New York so she can try out for a prestigious dance class. Norma has her own reasons for making the voyage, to learn about her personal heritage but why? There are many situations and talking points that address a traditional small town way of life vs a more free-spirited big city excitement. Especially, while Norma has to play the role of mother to Louise during their excursion. Both woman's character arcs are easily noticeable as they depart the small town for the big city and how both handle the more freeing environment differently. Solid acting, nice period piece sets and costumes. Satiates an appetite for this genre nicely.
