Notes

An early pre-production article states that the role of "Julia" was originally intended for Madlaine Traverse, another Fox star. Publicity articles stressed the timeliness of the topic of this film, as the suffrage amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified shortly before the movie's release.
