    • Trivia

      Josie's hair changes between black and auburn throughout the film. Particularly notable when she mistakes a student for John Barton at the train station. Her hair was colorful, turns black, then is colorful again in the next scene.
    • Quotes
      • John Barton: If I could be anything but what I am, I would be tomorrow. If I could be what my father wants me to be, then maybe I could stay for that, too. If I could be what you want me to be, I'd want to stay. But I am what I am, and all I want is freedom.
