    • Trivia
      The movie, set in Vermont, was shot primarily in a seaside town in Massachusetts.
    • Goofs
      When the PA accidentally erases the mayor's dinner from Tuesday (originally in red pen) on the calendar, she cleanly erases before rewriting it (in green pen). No day is visible whilst she is writing, however later in the scene it is clearly still for Tuesday and not for Wednesday. Later in the film, it appears under Wednesday (in green pen) and Tuesday is blank; later still, we see that both dates have the event written in their respective colors (and in very similar handwriting), with the red writing looking faded, as if only bits of it had been erased.

    Simple movie, complicated story
    Like a voice off says in the end while the generic list scrolls down, this movie is about a lot of things. As a matter of fact although this story is told in a very simple way without any kind of sensational images, it has to do with such complicated things like corruption, love, honesty, sex, integrity and conscience, money and last but not least all the difficulties and problems that arise when you are making a movie. A film crew arrives at a small provincial town in Vermont, U.S.A, to make a movie there and all the troubles begin because of the clash of mentalities between locals and members of the crew and the seduction induced on the former by the latter's presence. The character of the screen-play writer is fundamental here with his belief in the second chance that must always be given to any man to correct a mistake or a wrongdoing and his anguish and hesitations in choosing the right moral way himself as a witness in court. A second chance will be indeed be given to him though it will show itself unnecessary after all which by its awkwardness represents maybe the weakest point of the movie. Purity is the main theme of the movie that is being made in that small town. But in the real world outside will it win in the end? To find the answer you must go and see this movie.
