Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNeve Campbell was, at the time, one of the most recognizable actresses in the film, despite the fact that her role was relatively small. While the production wanted to be able to give her a bigger part, it was decided that it would be unwise to do so, since the two biggest female leads both were romantically involved with Christian Campbell's character. Christian is Neve Campbell's brother.
- GoofsWhile it is indeed true that FDR was wheelchair-bound by polio, he had perfected his ability to walk with the support of someone else's arm and could stand upright for a long period of time. He never appeared in public in a wheelchair, and in fact it was not even known outside his circle of associates that he was wheelchair-bound until after his death.
- Quotes
Sally DeBains: So, how tall are you, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Five feet, nine inches.
Sally DeBains: Let's forget the five feet and concentrate on the nine inches.
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits roll, Satan appears in Heaven and laughs at the audience.
- Alternate versionsThere are at least two different versions of this movie, one 1 hr 52 min long (known as the Showtime Library Print) and the other 1 hr 49 min. The extra three minutes is due to differences in the soundtrack, mostly in the song "Murder."

People that didn't like this...just don't like musicals and that's fine. In this day in age where people are so ready to cast musicals off into the film industry abyss, it is great to see something like this come along. If you are turned off by the subject matter you just don't get it. See the original "instructional" short and you will, all too quickly, understand that this movie is right on the money. Big brother government + media fear = America of today and back in the 30's. Just think back to last years terror threat scenarios and you will begin to understand how our government perfers to control by fear and manipulation. Not only is this movie a riot, to me this movie captured the essence of paranoia and "quirkyness" the first one really had. It is well written and combines the best aspects of movies like "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Little Shop of Horrors", both of which are classics as I'm sure this one is destined to become.
