Trivia
Mrs. Frankweiler makes a phone call sitting in front of a marble fireplace after sending the children to wash up before lunch, carved into that fireplace are the words, "A coeur vaillant rien d'impossible". This French phrase roughly translates to "nothing is impossible for a willing heart".

Goofs
When Jamie is playing "War" with Mrs. Frankweiler, with the camera on him, he plays his last card, he loses it, and his hands are empty. She takes her winning, and her hands are empty also. An instant later, after the cut, with the camera on her, she has cards in her hand and plays one more card on "his" card - a card that can not be there.

Quotes
Claudia: I wanted to be different. I wanted to be different.
Mrs. Frankweiler: And did running away from home make you different?
Claudia: No.
