Fun Stuff

Trivia:
As with most film biographies, this film is more screenwriter's fancy than fact. Among other things, Jeanne Eagels was never a carnival dancer and was never known to have been the cause of another performer's suicide. Further, the character of Sal Satori was a fictional compilation character based upon several men in Ms. Eagels's life. more
Goofs:
Anachronisms: During a carnival scene at Coney Island, the music in the background is The Victory Polka which was written by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn during World War II and not yet written for a film set in the Roaring Twenties. more

The emotional impact of the movie, 15 December 2001
9/10
Author: virginia van engel from Melbourne, Australia

I found this movie to be surprisingly 'deep' in its impact upon me. It ended up being one of the most compelling and one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. This reaction was not normal for me and was not expected from the storyline, yet it has remained one of the movies that I always mention when asked for memorable movies.
