Trivia:

Several scenes in this movie take place at an event known as "The Funeral of Grimaldi". This is a reference to Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837), who is the most celebrated English clown in history, and just like in the movie, there really is a "Funeral of Grimaldi" held every year on the first Sunday in February, at the All Saints' Church in London. more

Goofs:

Continuity: When the lieutenant came to visit Phil at his home, when he's at the front door it is pitch black outside, but as they move to the den downstairs, you can clearly see it's still daylight. more

Quotes:

Phil Blackwood: As he lifted the 400-pound weights above his head, he was in agony... but he bore it in silence. more

Her Alibi, 16 June 1999
Author: Tim Cox from Marietta, OH

Entertaining mystery-farce with Selleck as a novelist who suspects a beautiful woman is trying to murder him. Porizkova is lovely in her film debut as the woman.
