Trivia
Some of the inmates of the Allegheny County Jail acted as extras and background artists in the movie. See more »Goofs
A toy electric train shown running around a Christmas tree is of a post-1950 design, as is the track. The train is based on 19th-century locomotive and passenger car prototypes, making it more plausible. However, toy electric trains that even remotely resembled the one shown did not exist by 1901.
