1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Jan Egleson
Starring: Michael Caine, Swoosie Kurtz, Elizabeth McGovern, Peter Riegert
Revealing mistake: When Graham and Stella are in bed, the camera shows only their arms intertwined as if he's lying on top of her. She's gasping loudly in response to his thrusting, but their arms never move back and forth to reflect this, so it's clear they're not really having sex.
Lieutenant Laker: He was your superior, wasn't he?
Graham Marshall: No, he was my boss.
