Young Woman and the Sea

The film deviates from actual events a few times, presumably for dramatic effect. First, the film implies that Ederle's performance at the Paris Olympics was a disappointment, with her winning a single Bronze Medal. She won two Bronzes and Gold in the 4 x 100m Relay. She and her teammates participated in the US team's welcome home parade. Second, almost precisely a year passed between Ederle's first and second attempts to swim the English Channel, with her returning to New York between the two attempts. The film also omits the fact that, as a "warm-up" for her first attempt, Ederle swam 22 miles from Battery Park (NY) to Sandy Hook (NJ) in a time that wasn't beaten for 81 years.

"Ain't We Got Fun", wasn't performed until 1920 and published until 1921. In the movie it is shown being sung before 1920.
