Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character of Yates Martin is based on Colorado's "Silver King", Horace A.W. Tabor (1830-1899), who was a United States Senator for one month and built Denver's opera house in the late 1800s. Lily Owen's character is based on Elizabeth "Baby" Doe Tabor, whom Tabor married after creating a huge scandal by leaving his wife, Augusta Tabor.
- GoofsThe wedding party in Washington takes place circa 1883, while Chester Alan Arthur was president, but the establishing shot of the Capitol shows contemporary 1932 automobiles parked out front.

Featured review
Smooth,quite engrossing biopic of Horace Tabor, an important figure in the early economic and polirical development of Colorado. EGR plays the kind of character he does so very, very well -- an ambitious go-getter bursting with self-confidence. Sort of like a legal Little Caesar. He makes the film very watchable.
