      Irene Moore's debut.
    • Goofs
      Prior to Aristide meeting Kinross in the restaurant for breakfast, Kinross tucks a cigarette behind his left ear and then puts another one in his mouth and lights it. When Aristida joins him, Kinross is holding a lit cigarette (smoke is seen rising from it) and still has the cigarette behind his left ear. The camera cuts to Janice eavesdropping on their discussion, where the cigarette is still seen behind Kinross's ear from behind. When the camera cuts back, there is no cigarette behind Kinross's left ear. He has an unlit cigarette in his mouth and then he places a cigarette behind his left ear for the second time.
