A lot of shoes, as I remember it: corduroys with the soles made of rubber.
What was the fashion in the 1920s?
It was quite fashionable for men to wear their women’s shoes off the side, as opposed to slipper-style shoes. There was a lot of fashion and glamour. In my youth and teens, they would have the women’s tops and the men’s bottoms and their trousers, and all of that was quite stylish and interesting. As an adult, I feel like I’ve grown up just a bit.
In the movies, were there a lot of women wearing leather sandals?
I really think they were quite popular in the films.
Did the films have many women in them?

How long did the filming of The Mule cost?
I think it cost about two years. There was only one scene with Marge’s dog, who was shot for the movie.

I think it’s because the location was close to the house Marge and Bart spent the first three decades of their lives in.
Were there any other pets in the film?
No.
