Factual errors: Thomas E. Dewey is depicted in the film as the prosecutor of Lepke's murder trial. However, this was a state court case that Dewey was not even involved in as it was not his jurisdiction. The real prosecutors who sent Lepke to the electric chair were Brooklyn D.A. William O'Dwyer and Assistant D.A. Burton Turkus.
