Factual error: In the culminating scene where Fletch is held at gun point and escapes by turning on the gas valve in the fireplace and then igniting the vapors into a ball of flame, he actually turns the valve into the off position (valve is perpendicular to the pipe). (01:32:00)
Suggested correction: The valve was in closed position (perpendicular). He opened the valve (turned parallel to pipe).

Gail Stanwyk: I didn't know you knew the Underhills.
Fletch: Yeah, well, I saved his life during the war.
Gail Stanwyk: You were in the war?
Fletch: No, he was. I got him out.
Trivia: Alan Stanwyck's mansion is the same house used in the 1972 movie "The Godfather", when Jack Woltz finds the horse head in his bed.
