[edit] George W. Bush views of film

I have reversed the inclusion of criticism of film by George W. Bush for the following reasons: It appears the information came from tabloid-journalist Kitty Kelley, a highly dubious source. Second, even if the information is true the info is at best "fan facts" or "trivia." As it's said: film articles on Wikepedia is not a collection of fan facts. Finally, what he is purported to have been said was said long, long ago, when Bush was considered a somewhat reckless youth. If he were to comment on the film today, when he is president of the USA, now that would be another story. As such, items such as the GWB entry should not be included in a serious encyclopedia article. I will continue to search for more serious right-wing points-of-view and include with a legitimate reference. Luigibob 06:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Borders between states

I have a question to one scene where the family was seen crossing a border between two states. From when to when where these borders in effect? What exactly was checked there? Who operated them? Bernburgerin 20:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

It's the border between Arizona and California. California to this day has a border stop to check most particularly for fruit and vegetables being brought into the state, as parasites and insects remain a potent matter to California's agricultural economy.

[edit] Spelling of "Rose-of-Sharon"

"Rose-of-Sharon" might have been her "real" name in the movie, but the credits clearly spell it "Rosasharn", so does the IMDb. --AchimP (talk) 13:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

It's Rosasharn in the book, too. Monkeyzpop (talk) 19:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
