Actors and characters

During filming, James Cagney was confined to a wheelchair, and therefore he filmed most scenes sitting down. And the few episodes where he is standing were shot from behind so that his facial expression would not be visible.
Mary Steenburgen was pregnant during filming, but this was not visible under her vintage outfits.
Robert Altman was originally the director of the project, but he was eventually replaced by Miloš Forman.
Notably, 81-year-old Cagney played Commissioner Reinlander Waldo, who was only 32 years old in 1910, when the film is set.
This role was the last for Cagney.
Jack Nicholson appeared in this film in a cameo role, portraying a mustachioed pirate in a silent film.
