Corrected entry: When Jessica Lange has Dustin Hoffman over to her place for dinner, she is wearing sweats and her hair is in a ponytail. But in one shot, where she is mixing food in a bowl with her hands, she has on a T-shirt and jeans, and her hair is in a French braid. In the following scenes, she is back in sweats and the ponytail.

Correction: Jessica Lange is in sweats but then the scene switches to Teri Garr (who is wearing jeans and a tee shirt) who is making dinner for Dustin Hoffman.

Corrected entry: During the opening credits, you see Dustin Hoffman applying spirit gum with a brush to his upper lip, to which he then places a fake moustache. Next, for some unknown reason, he brushes it on his right cheek.

Correction: He's applying a latex scar, which is visible in the next scene.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Dorothy reveals himself as Michael, his purple clutch handbag disappears while he's making his speech.

Correction: A wide shot reveals that Dorothy's purse has been set down on the banister next to her.

Factual error: No actor is going to secure a recurring speaking role in a soap opera unless a comprehensive insurance policy has been secured. (This applies to feature films, too.) This will inevitably involve a medical examination. Mr Dorsey's plans are going to become dreadfully unstuck the minute he drops his y-fronts in the doctor's surgery. (No, he can't find a compliant or bribeable doctor - the insurance company will always use their own people.)

Question: Why is it that Julie throws a drink in Michael's face? I thought she wanted a guy to say those things to her the night Michael was Dorothy.

Answer: What she said was a fantasy - big difference between saying that in conversation and actually having it said to her.

Thank you.
