Directed by: Milos Forman
Starring: Brad Dourif, Elizabeth McGovern, Howard E. Rollins Jr., James Cagney, Moses Gunn

Factual error: Ragtime is set in 1906. Yet a 1915 Model T figures prominently in the plot.
Trivia: During Evelyn's silent movie shoot on the beach, there's a brief close-up of a scruffy pirate. He's played by Jack Nicholson in an uncredited cameo.
