Visible crew/equipment: When King Xerxes appoints Haman as his Regent he taps the scepter on Haman's signet ring, then there's a brief shot of Esther running in the rain, and in the next long shot we can see a crouching crew member, who's wearing a watch, at the lower, left side of the screen. This person is a bit visible in an earlier shot from the same angle. (01:41:05)

More quotes from One Night with the King

Question: Did Xeres really go to Esther's bed and kiss her forehead, or did she just dream/imagine it?

Answer: No, Xerxes does not kiss her forehead because you see shortly after that, she is still asleep then wakes up. If he had really kissed her she would have felt it and woken up right then.
