Did You Know?
| Trivia | Filmed during summer 1937. See more » |
| Goofs | When Mrs. Saunders and Ms. Cushinberry discuss Naomi's absence from the first day of school, Mrs. Cushinberry wears a solid-color dress with a distinctive bow-style lapel around the collar. In at least two closeups, and in one reaction shot when the women talk to two schoolgirls, Ms. Cushinberry is wearing a patterned dress with a short fur collar. This error is repeated later, when Ms. Cushinberry lecturing her schoolchildren outdoors after the rumor has been spread about here. These closeups were likely inserted from another of Oscar Micheaux's films. See more » |
