Trivia:
When Jack's mother comes to visit Mary, you can see in the background what appears to be a little boy standing in a doorway. There is a rumor that this is the ghost of a little boy who died in the apartment in which the film was shot. This rumour is false, as the interiors were all shot on a sound stage in a movie studio. The "ghost" is actually a cardboard cut-out of Jack wearing a tuxedo. This prop appears later in the film, when Mary's mother comes to collect her.

Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Jack's mother comes to visit Mary, you can see in the background what appears to be a little boy standing in front of a window. There is a rumor that this is the ghost of a little boy who died in the apartment in which the film was shot. This rumor is false, as the interiors were all shot on a sound stage in a movie studio. The "ghost" is actually a cardboard cut-out of Jack wearing a tuxedo. This prop appears later in the film, when Mary's mother comes to collect her. Some argue that "it's smaller" or "it's dressed differently", but close examination reveals that it really is the cardboard prop.

When this movie was in theaters, I took my older two children at the time, My son was 11 and my daughter was 7. At home I had a brand new set of twins that were little over one year old, a boy and a girl. My older two children got good grades on their report cards and they earned a day at the movies, big lunch and an unrestricted time at a video arcade. They had a blast and when we all saw the movie, it touched me all the way to the core. I am 6'4" and 250lbs and when Tom Selleck was running through the house looking for little Mary after those drug dealer trashed his place sent my stomach up to my throat. A few tear ran down my face and from that point on till today, this movie is one of my favorites of all time. Maybe its because I am a father that takes raising my kids seriously. Or its seeing three bumbling guys trying to take care of one baby and I have always taken care of my all 4 of my children, a lot of times on my own. What ever the reason is, I don't know, but the original nature of this film makes it a real hit in my book. I watched it again just last night on cable and again it touched me like it was the first time. It just brings me back to the time when my grown children were babies, especially when all of them are grown now. Again its in my top ten!
