    • Trivia
      Although Elizabeth Taylor fought the unauthorized biography "Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story", she found that Sherilyn Fenn aptly portrayed her.
    • Goofs
      The 1940s audiences watch a trailer is for National Velvet (1944). The trailer ends with a "G-rating" classification. These ratings were not in use until the 1960s - the filmmakers obviously used the '70s re-release version.
