Trivia

In one night scene lit by car headlights, the "headlights" are actually just two halogen work lamps mounted on a C-stand. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Characters use telephones with Touch Tone dialing-systems and other modern devices, even though the film is set in the early 1920's. The placement of such anachronistic objects was deliberate on the part of the filmmakers. See more »
