    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Orson Welles urged Peter Bogdanovich to photograph the film in black and white, but the studio balked at this idea. At the March 2008 Bogdanovich retrospective held at the Castro Theater, San Francisco, the director's cut of the film was presented in a black and white print.
    • Goofs
      When the man shoots the movie camera, the hits on the camera do not match where his is pointing the gun, and the last flash on the camera has no corresponding gunshot sound.
    • Quotes
      • Alice Forsyte: [at a movie premiere] I hear he's changing the title for New York.
      • Leo Harrigan: Yeah? To what?
      • Alice Forsyte: "The Birth of a Nation."
    • Alternate versions
      A black-and-white director's cut runs seven minutes longer.
