In the scene where Ray and friends are installing insulation, she is wearing a brown turtleneck top and has her hair pulled into a ponytail. In the Thanksgiving dinner scene, she is wearing a bright pink blouse. In the wedding scene, she is wearing a Western-style dress.
The blind judge also portrays himself.
Also a good performance by Pete Seeger.
A *lot* of 'artistic license' was taken with this film portrayal. Alice Brock was pretty upset at parts of the portrayal of herself, some characters were purely fictional, and other names and scenes were drastically changed. But then, it was an entertainment, and not a documentary.
The scenes at the old Army Building at 39 Whitehall Street in NYC - exteriors were shot there, but I don't recognize the interior. That was the same building where I went to be injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected, and selected when I went into the Air Force in 1972. I remember it having a large central atrium with the offices arranged around it and stairs...lots of stairs. The color scheme was about right, though - that sickly 'government office green'.
(And yeah, I did watch the movie this morning, as a part of my annual Thanksgiving tradition.)
