Trivia
Kami Cotler, who played Elizabeth, said recently on Facebook that the casts and leg braces were difficult to move around in. She would lay on the hospital bed as the crew set up the shots, and she was quite sore at the end of each shooting day. Still, she describes it as a "fascinating experience".

Goofs
Ben gives Elizabeth a modern federal reserve note green seal dollar which weren't printed until 1963. The silver certificate dollars in those days had blue seals.
