Trivia:

The exterior shots of Miami airport were filmed at the old Ontario, California airport terminal. The old terminal is still standing, but it was converted to office space when the new Ontario Airport opened.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Hanratty is briefing fellow FBI agents about check routing, the first US map has many geographical errors: Kansas City is where Omaha should be, St. Louis is in middle of Missouri, and Boston is in Maine. When the same map is shown again, the cities are correctly located, and the map shading scheme has changed.

Quotes:

Carl Hanratty:[Frank is making one last attempt to run by impersonating a pilot once again. Carl catches up with him at Dulles Airport] How'd you do it, Frank? How'd you pass the bar in Louisiana?
Frank Abagnale, Jr.:[Frank continues to walk. Carl walks several paces behind] What are you doing here?
Carl Hanratty:Listen...
Frank Abagnale, Jr.:I'm sorry I put you through all this.
Carl Hanratty:You go back to Europe, you're gonna die in Perpignan Prison. You try to run here in the States, we'll send you back to Atlanta for 50 years.
Frank Abagnale, Jr.:I know that.
Carl Hanratty:I spent four years trying to arrange your release. Had to convince my bosses at the FBI and the Attorney General of the United States you wouldn't run.
Frank Abagnale, Jr.:Why'd you do it?
Carl Hanratty:You're just a kid.
Frank Abagnale, Jr.:I'm not your kid. You said you were going to Chicago.

The Look Of Love

Good popcorn movie

An all-around good movie worth seeing. The plot is pretty basic: Quick-thinking kid from a broken family that he loved. He spent the next few years playing a pilot, doctor, and lawyer. Think "Pretender" (the television series) but based on real events. The surprise was the unique relationship of the FBI agent and the con-man in their cat-and-mouse chase they have over the years around the globe. An engaging film that you are curious to see how it ends. That goes even for my girlfriend who stayed awake for the entire movie because she was captivated by it [Note: she has slept thru "Gladiator", "Shakespeare in Love", "Elizabeth", and the "Fellowship of the Ring" because they (apparently) didn't peak her interest]. So if your date is the discriminating-type, he/she should be able to sit through this movie and enjoy it.
