    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The painting technique depicted in this film is inaccurate. The approach the painters used in dial factories was "lip, dip, paint." The technique depicted shows the workers licking the paintbrush after having dipped their paintbrush. This technique would be ineffective, since the paint is essentially being licked off before the application.
    • Goofs
      At a little after 1 hour into the film there is a 50 star USA flag fluttering in the wind. In the 1920s there would have been only 48 stars on the US flag.

    Historical Inaccuracies
    While interesting and horrifying, worse than the Sulphur match makers, my biggest issue about this movie is that historical documents show the painting method was to lick the brush to give it a fine point, dip the point into the radium paint, then paint the watch dials. The movie, perhaps disingenuously trying to show greater carelessness by the companies, shows the girls dipping the brush, THEN licking it, basically eating the paint, before painting the watch dials. I get that the movie is trying to show the evolution of workplace protections but it would have gone a long way toward historical accuracy if the writers had painted the truth, instead of twisting it, which served no benefit to the movie at all. I would have given this a 7, but it needed accuracy to satisfy me.
