Trivia:
Cameo: [Alan M. Dershowitz] [appears briefly in profile as one of the appellate judges, just as they are sitting down at the appeal.] moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the opening shot flying over the estates in Newport, visitors can be seen at some of the mansions. As the film is set in 1983, some of the mansions would have been open to the public like The Breakers or Marble House. moreQuotes:
Alan Dershowitz: Claus, let me explain something to you: the less you tell me, the more options I have. moreSoundtrack:

The spooky yet amusing performance turned in by Jeremy Irons is worth watching all by itself. As an added bonus, the film is quite good as well. "Reversal of Fortune" thrives on its deft pacing, which keeps its relatively action-free plot interesting until the end. To the film's credit, the mystery is never fully solved; the viewer must ultimately decide the truth for himself. A treat for any thoughtful filmgoer.
