 In this movie, Harrison appears as herself – a reporter.Cooper's co-producer, Ernest B. Schoedsack, opined years later in a tape-recorded news interview (and totally unaware of her true activities) that she had not done "a damn thing" during the expedition!At the time women were excluded from membership in most professional organizations such as the Explorers Club; this and Harrison's disillusionment with equality for women led directly to her participation in the founding of Society of Woman Geographers in 1925.
