Notes
Trivia: The scene where Mitch McDeere meets with the Morolto mob in the Peabody Hotel was not filmed at the Peabody. The scene was filmed in a private apartment in the Shrine Building in downtown Memphis. The occupant of the apartment was paid to allow the studio to move out all of his belongings, and he stayed at the Peabody until the scene was filmed. The Peabody was not used in the scene because the hotel has an obstructed view of the Mississippi River, where as the Shrine is closer. (more)

Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the two muscle guys visit Eddie Lomax in his office, the white haired guy has a coat over his shoulders which he removes and places on a chair. After Eddie is shot, the two leave but do not take the coat. (more)

Quotes: Abby McDeere: Somewhere, inside, in the dark, the firm is listening. (more)

Awards: Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 2 wins & 4 nominations (more)
