Intolerable Cruelty

Audio problem: The producer sings along Simon and Garfunkel's "The boxer", but changes the lines "Just a come on from the w*ores on 7th. avenue" to "just a come on from those gals on 7th avenue". I'm sure the Coen Bros. did it deliberately. And strangely enough, when the song is played during the final credits it's the original text. (00:01:15 - 01:34:50)

Audio problem: At the end of the movie, Marilyn and Miles have their first "real" kiss. After their lips touch the first time we see a shot of Miles' profile. You can tell that his lips are moving like he's saying something, but no sound comes out of his mouth.

Factual error: When Marylin Rexroth's ex-husband dies, she inherits his money because he had not removed her from his will after divorcing her. Under California Probate Code ยง 6122(a)(1), the dissolution of a marriage automatically revokes any disposition or appointment of property made by the will to the former spouse.
