Revealing mistake: When Dame Penelope Wilton drops Kevin Kline off at the bus stop, the prior tracking shot shows a large white building and a central clock tower. These are the Midlands Hotel and Boggie's Clock Tower, two major landmarks in Gweru, Zimbabwe, where the film was produced and not in East London, where it was set.

Other mistake: A tracking shot along the street in East London, South Africa, where Dame Penelope Wilton drops Kevin Kline off, shows the Midlands Hotel and Boggie's Clock, two landmarks in Gweru, Zimbabwe, and therefore not in South Africa.
