Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Diamond Jim Brady once ate eleven pounds of seafood in a single sitting; this film's production could barely afford craft services.
Made during the New Hollywood revolution, this oddity represents the era's obsession with American myth-making—even when the myth is just a guy who really liked steak.
