The letter which is typed on the Olivetti portable typewriter (certainly an accurate model for this period) is obviously a modern laser-printed letter, not from a manual typewriter. See more...

Genres: Crime, Drama, Thriller

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry The scooter Jude Law rides at the beginning (a Vespa), when he's first seen kissing another girl, is a modern version, which could never have been around in the 50s. [Dickie's Vespa is a 150GS first introduced in 1955 so it is completely possible to be in the time frame. ]
Entry When the American inspector shows Tom the license plates found in Dickie's luggage (near the end of the movie), the larger plate has '2007' on the bottom. One of the numbers must be facing the wrong way, because no matter which way the plate is turned, either the 2 or the 7 is always upside down. [It is actually '4002', so it is the correct way round, and the same on both plates (except the 'EE' comes at the end on the small plate).]
