Continuity mistake: When the episode begins, Jessica is having a meeting with Sally Wilson, who hangs a bag over her shoulder. A shot later, her bag is down and she is hanging it again.
Audio problem: When Buck walks to the bar downstairs and meets Mrs. Oates, the sound of their footsteps is that of tiled floor, but they're walking on a rug.
Factual error: When Buck's body is found, his blood is red when it should be brown due to oxidation after how much time has passed.
Trivia: The song Angela Lansbury sings, "Little Yellow Bird," when she plays musical hall performer Emma, is the same song she sang in the 1945 film The Picture of Dorian Gray, when she played music hall performer Sybil Vane.
Murder Among Friends - S12-E16
Question: I think most MSW episodes are wrapped up pretty nicely, however, there is a loose end in "Murder Among Friends" that is bothering me - why didn't Dyan take the script from Ricki's safe after she killed her? We know that safe was open when she killed Ricki and that the script inside named Carly as the one being written-off the show (not herself like Dyan wanted). She had no way of knowing that Gene would switch out the script (a good red herring) or that Leo would opt for a re-write anyway, so why leave it? We also know that Leo didn't want to let Dyan do the movie either, so killing Ricki alone wouldn't necessarily solve Dyan's problem. It doesn't seem plausible that she killed Ricki out of pure rage without caring whether or not it would even help her cause. Is there any explanation? It just bothers me that they never addressed why Dyan didn't take the script...after all, it WAS the McGuffin!
