2 trivia entries
Directed by: Alan J. Pakula
Starring: Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Peter MacNicol, Rita Karin
Continuity mistake: Meryl Streep as Sophie emotionally describes the loss of her children and rubs her eye, smudging her eyeliner which makes a small black line out to the side of her face. In the next shot, the smudge has disappeared.

To Stingo.
