Curiosidades
Surprisingly, a Nazi flag can be seen in the window of one of the houses in the far background of several shots, due to a homeowner being mad that the movie's production company wasn't paying him or any of the other homeowners. Production halted while the producers tried to reach an agreement with him. He took the flag down after the homeowners were all paid but some footage that had already been shot with the flag still made it into the movie. This homeowner was Jim Williams, an antiques dealer whose life story was the basis for the novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and the subsequent 1997 film.

Pifias
Mudd is seemingly the only person in the prison, who was involved with President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. In reality, there were also three others: Edward Spangler, Michael O'Laughlin and Samuel Arnold. O'Laughlin died of the yellow fever illness. Spangler and Arnold were both also released when Mudd was.

Mudd was no saint!

I haven't seen this movie but it appears from the post that it is based on faulty history. While Mudd was not a part of the actual assassination (and was appalled that Booth took this action) he WAS part of the plot to kidnap Lincoln acting as Booth's active co-conspirator. This is why Booth went straight to Mudd's home after escaping from the shooting.

Mudd was also a violent racist who, with the help of his overseer, flogged one of his slaves to death. If you want to know more about him you may want to read "Blood on the Moon" by Edward Steers Jr.. You won't feel so bad for him after that.
