    Storyline

    • Goofs
      Many men AND women smoked cigars then. It has been documented that women smoked openly and nobody thought anything about it. But nobody at all smoked plastic-tipped cigars, since they did not come out until the 1950s.
    • Quotes
      • Pinkerton Man: You think you're a brave man, don't you. Resisting all this pain, all this torture. I hope you haven't got to the stage when you don't feel it. It doesn't usually happen so quickly, but we can wait until you get your strength back again, Larry, so you get the most out of this experience. We don't want you to miss anything, do we. It would be a pity, don't you agree? Ready for more?
