Corrected entry: When Michael Douglas & Annette Benning are entertaining the French President and his wife in the ballroom, they show Annette speaking French to their guests and her hands are in front of her. The next scene shows Annette from behind while she is still talking and she is fiddling with her ring. The third scene is back showing her from the front and her hands are not fiddling with her ring.

Correction: I don't see Sydney doing anything with her hands in the rear shot. You can't even see her hands.

Correction: This is true we are watching this movie right now. When the President of France is explaining regarding the rules of Louie and Marie Antoinette. Camera in front she is clasping her hands together from behind she is playing with the ring on her left index finger. Then to the front hands clasping again.

Corrected entry: What kind of billiard game do the president and A.J. play at the beginning of the movie? Both seem to be good players announcing their shots. The President sinks the balls 11, 2, 9 and 3 in a row before he misses the cue ball. Then A.J. sink the balls 3 and 13. So it's neither 8-ball nor 9-ball. Does their game have no rules?

Correction: They could be playing 15-Ball, which is a point-based game and you can sink any ball.

Correction: It's most likely straight pool, where you have to call your shot first, but can hit any ball in for points. 15-Ball requires the shooter to first hit the lowest numbered ball on the table prior to any ball going in.

Other mistake: This error occurs during the scene in which the President and Lewis Rothschild are riding in the limo, just after the President has broken a date with Syndney. The background scenery, visible through the windows of the car, is noticeably in slow motion, even though the car (and the people inside it) are moving at regular speed.

Question: When Sydney and the President are having dinner alone at Sydney's place (I think) around Christmastime, there is a beautiful song playing softly in the background. It is being sung by what sounds like two or three sopranos. Does anyone know the name of this song and its composer?

Answer: The aria is "Viens, Mallika" from "Lakmé", composed by Léo Delibes.
