As all fans of the "Nero Wolfe" novels know, Wolfe never discusses a case at the dinner table, yet the discussion with Lon Cohen about Mrs. Bruner takes place there. In the book it takes place in Wolfe's office, but the writers needed to show both the dinner and the discussion so they combined them for their convenience.
During the briefing to the actors in the basement, Wolfe says "You'll be in this house 18 hours." It's suppose to be 28 hours (as stated in the novel) which Archie confirms when after the briefing his voice over says "I wouldn't want to go through that 28 hours again."
Set in the 1950s, but characters give telephone numbers as seven digits. This was never done at that time, numbers were always read as an Exchange (Plaza, Greenwich), followed by five digits, such as "Plaza 5-2222".
