Untitled
The commotion caused by the film eventually led to the elimination of forced labor in the penal system.
 * The film or the book? I understand the book was a major success.  -- Zoe — Preceding undated comment added by Zoe (talk • contribs) 21:24, 8 July 2002 (UTC)
 * I believe it was the film, but I could be wrong. I will check it tomorrow. BTW, nice work on the films. Danny — Preceding undated comment added by Danny (talk • contribs) 21:32, 8 July 2002 (UTC)
 * With regards to the same sentence... it seems rather unlikely that a single film can be so unequivocably tied to a major change in the American penal system. I don't doubt an influence, even a major influence, even the major influence, but the statement still seems awfully strong. Tuf-Kat 06:33, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * According to Robert Osborn, Robert E. Burns acted as consultant and visited the set during production. He had to be sneaked onto and off the lot, since Georgia authorities were still after him as a wanted man.--W8IMP 01:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The article states Warden Hardy sued the studio. When there is a mention of a lawsuit, I would like to see a mention of the outcome of that suit. I suspect the same is true of other Wikipedia readers. Could someone find the outcome, and edit the article accordingly? Thanks. 206.53.193.69 (talk) 14:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Why...
Is the "Am" capitalised in the title? It is gramatically incorrect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Parable1991 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC).


 * No, it's correct. The rule isn't to capitalize short words; it's to capitalize short words that are an article, preposition, or coordinating conjunction, but "am" is not any of those, but a verb. —Lowellian (reply) 08:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

The movie, the Depression, and the 1932 election.
Historical note: The film was released just two days after the 1932 presidential election, in which the Democratic challenger, New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, defeated the Republican incumbent, Herbert Hoover, who was widely blamed for the government's ineffectual response to the Great Depression, which had had the nation in the economic doldrums for nearly three years by that time.
