    • Trivia
      It would have taken Paul approximately 1 hour 47 minutes to walk home. (The distance from Paul's uptown apartment ("East 91st Street") to Kiki's SoHo loft ("28 Howard Street, near the corner of Crosby") is approx 5.3 miles.) [Google Maps]
    • Goofs
      Over the course of the film, Dunne's shaved unibrow changes at multiple times. Sometimes there's hair in the center of the brows, sometimes fully there, sometimes completely gone, and sometimes hair parallel off the center.
    • Quotes

      [after witnessing a murder through a window]

      Paul Hackett: I'll probably get blamed for that.

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits are displayed over a moving shot of Paul's office, during which more and more employees show up for work. When the camera passes Paul's desk again, he has disappeared.

    Just saw it for the first time in 35 years.
    I was 19 when I saw AFTER HOURS in 1985. Back then, I thought it was funny as hell. But as a 54-year-old man, I can appreciate it even more.

    In my 3.5 decades between my viewings, I've been to New York City many times, read Henry Miller, become familiar with the doo-wop songs on the barroom's jukebox, and (unfortunately) dated women who reminded me entirely too much of Marcy, Julie, and Gail. On the other hand: to date, I've been lucky enough to never be stalked by a vigilante lynch mob (unless you count Facebook). And the Mister Softee truck was a riotous touch!

    I agree with the reviewers who call AFTER HOURS the most underrated Scorsese film. It features elements of what already him a great director, as well as glimpses into the future career of this master filmmaker.
