| Trivia | Though the plot of this film may seem far fetched it is based, fairly closely, on the real life ship fire disaster of the Morro Castle. See more » |
| Goofs | When David and Robin Carson are discussing the case in the restaurant, the same traffic scene plays over and over ( i.e. the same bus, sedan, truck, people, etc) in the window behind them. See more » |
