Trivia

Two key lines in the film have no intertitles, the viewer having to lip read them. About 64 minutes into the film, Kate reveals to Philip "Philip, I am going to have a baby." 4 minutes later, she reveals to her husband Pete "I am going to have a baby." See more »

Goofs

Continuity: The facing of Pete's head changes between shots when he is resting it on Phil's shoulder while awaiting news about the baby. See more »
