    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Cinematographer Edward Lachman created the 1950s "look" by using the same type of lighting equipment (incandescent), the same lighting techniques, and the same type of lens filters when shooting this film, as would have been used on a 1950s era melodrama.
    • Goofs
      The typewriter around the corner from Frank Whitaker's office is a late-model Selectric (circa 1971 at the earliest).
    • Quotes
      • [Studying a Miró painting]
      • Raymond Deagan: So, what's your opinion on modern art?
      • Cathy Whitaker: It's hard to put into words, really. I just know what I care for and what I don't. Like this... I don't know how to pronounce it... Mira?
      • Raymond Deagan: Miró.
      • Cathy Whitaker: Miró. I don't know why, but I just adore it. The feeling it gives. I know that sounds terribly vague.
      • Raymond Deagan: No. No, actually, it confirms something I've always wondered about modern art. Abstract art.
      • Cathy Whitaker: What's that?
      • Raymond Deagan: That perhaps it's just picking up where religious art left off, somehow trying to show you divinity. The modern artist just pares it down to the basic elements of shape and color. But when you look at that Miró, you feel it just the same.
