    • Trivia
      Much of the story's action revolves around a mental hospital at which Billy's father is a doctor and in which Virginia is institutionalized. This setting is based on Bryce Hospital, a real mental institution in Tuscaloosa. Founded in 1861 as the Alabama State Hospital for the Insane, it was planned according to the then-groundbreaking ideas of "moral architecture" as pioneered by mental-health activists Thomas Story Kirkbride and Dorothea Dix and was (for its time) a model facility for the treatment of mental illness. For many years it was known across the state as one of the only medical resources for mentally ill patients in Alabama; in her classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," Harper Lee even demonstrates that just the town's name was for many in the state synonymous with Bryce's presence there: "Miss Stephanie said old Mr. Radley said no Radley was going to any asylum, when it was suggested that a season in Tuscaloosa might be helpful to Boo. Boo wasn't crazy, he was high-strung at times. It was all right to shut him up, Mr. Radley conceded, but insisted that Boo not be charged with anything: he was not a criminal."
    • Goofs
      At the 56 minute and 35 second mark a police car is shown while driving and the Doctor (Tate Donovan) is supposedly shown sitting in the backseat behind the driver's seat. However, there is a different man (substitute) in place of Tate Donovan. And it's easily noticeable. At the 56:39 mark Tate Donovan is shown in a close up shot from that rear left seat position. He must not have been able to be at the initial filming of this scene so later did a separate solo filming of this shot with him in the police car (and to look as if he were there with the other three people).

    Visually and audibly pleasing
    Beautifully shot and handsomely textured. Have to agree with a previous review that the score has notes of someone familiar with the music industry. Well done!
