Michael Sullivan, Jr.: There are many stories about Michael Sullivan. Some say he was a decent man. Some say there was no good in him at all. But I once spent 6 weeks on the road with him, in the winter of 1931. This is our story.

Trivia
Despite the fact that this was filmed in Super 35, "Filmed in Panavision" is listed in the end credits. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: When Michael and his son first arrive in Chicago, there is a brief shot of bright silver metal cars on the El. They were introduced in the 1980s. In 1931, the cars would have been made of wood and painted dark brown. See more »Quotes
