TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Based on events that took place in Skidmore, Missouri involving Ken Rex McElroy (b. June 1, 1934 d. July 10, 1981).

The film cast includes three Oscar winners: Chris Cooper, Marcia Gay Harden and Cloris Leachman.

Though using fictionalized names in the screenplay, Brian Dennehy is nonetheless made up convincingly to resemble the real life subject Ken McElroy by dying his hair dark, thickening his eyebrows, growing large sideburns and even going as far as wearing brown contact lenses.

A TV movie for the NBC network.

The character Jack Wilson's radio call sign of 507 was the same as that of real life Missouri Highway Patrol officer Richard Stratton, whom Wilson's character was based upon.

Popular Dialogues
