Trivia

Jack Huston based his character Richard Harrow partially on a young, shell-shocked soldier whose story is told in the documentary Let There Be Light (1980), directed by Huston's grandfather, John Huston. See more »

Goofs

Jimmy says he served 3 years. The entire US involvement in WWI was 19 months, but it is obvious that the character is speaking of the whole time he was in the Army, not just during the war. In other episodes it is stated that he joined early in 1916 and fought "two years against the Kaiser" (1917-1918) before being WoA and discharged. See more »

Quotes

Richard Harrow: [referring to the government's testing of veterans] They're interested in what's inside our heada so the next time we'll fight better.

We get to find out a little bit about Nucky. The vulnerability he showed and the passion was tangible. Very good acting from Buscemi.
