Unfaithful

Factual error: After leaving Paul's apartment the first time Connie is shown running through Grand Central. She runs into a track tunnel, but the train's destination on the schedule board is displayed in blue, which indicates that the train is a Harlem line train (these headers are color-coded). However in the remainder of the film both Connie and Edward are shown getting off at a station next to the Hudson river which is served by the (of course) Hudson Line, which are displayed with green colored destinations on its schedule board. Long story short she's getting on the wrong train.

Factual error: Diane Lane makes a phone call from one of the stations in New York and only inserts a quarter. This film was shot after the charge for a public phone call was changed to 35 cents.

Factual error: The phone number Constance gives Paul has a 914 area code which is the Westchester County area code, a suburb just outside of NYC. In a later scene, we see Constance shopping at a supermarket presumably in her neighborhood as she is in the suburbs, but when she hastily decides to drive into NYC, she drives over an unknown bridge that would never take you from Westchester County to NYC.

Continuity mistake: The mark that Paul writes on Connie's hips becomes darker when Connie is in the bathtub. The flower isn't even the same - it changes directions and there is a small line in between the pestles originally that isn't there in the bathtub scene.

Edward Sumner: No. You tell me what you did.

More quotes from Unfaithful

Question: In the final scene of the film Richard Gere and Diane Lane have their SUV stopped at a traffic light, and I've noticed that there's a police station directly to their right. This could have very well been a coincidence, but maybe it's not? Does anyone know if it signifies anything pertaining to the plot, for example, the dilemma of Richard Gere turning himself in vs. their decision to flee the country?

Answer: That's exactly what it is meant to portray. If I remember correctly, the SUV's left turn signal is on as well, which only reinforces that idea that they have a choice to make. Right, turn himself in, left, flee the country.

Nope, just watched it and there is no left turn signal.

Answer: The light stays green for a while, but the car never moves. Then it turns red. To me, that suggests that Edward realises he has to stop the insane world of commandment-breaking that he and Connie are living in. One of my favorite movie endings.
