    • Trivia
      The epic silent movie that director D.W. Griffith was making in this film was Intolerance (1916).
    • Goofs
      The director D.W. Griffith is sat into his car and looking outside the right window, attracted by the Italian Pavillion of the Universal Expo in San Francisco. He asks the driver to stop, gets down, walks around the car and, on the left side, looks again towards the Pavillion (that should have been on the right side)
    • Quotes

      D.W. Griffith: Never mind. Artists communicate through their work.

    Good story and interesting characters...
    1st watched 1/19/1997 - (Dir-Paolo Tavioni & Vittorio Tavioni): Good story and interesting characters. About two inseparable brothers and their encounters when coming to America in the early 1900's and their way into a D.W. Griffith movie.
