Excellent background and great atmosphere. I was extra in this film and noticed the background was authentic. I felt I went on trip even though it was in my own neighborhood. Times sure have changed. Wardrobe was authentic and gave feel to the story. Setting is very important to a story and plot. Acting was excellent and authentic. Also, learned quite a bit of history from it. Life as it really was in the 30s. Every detail noticed. I was in funeral scene at Louisiana State Capitol Rotunda, the scene in parking lot in front of Our Lady of the Lake Hospital right across from Lake from State Capitol, and an "Arkansas Political Rally" with character, female Senator from Arkansas there.
