Goofs

The water cooler in the dry cleaner's shop has a plastic bottle. In 1962, the bottle would have been made of glass.

Share this

The movie is set in 1962. Judging by the scenes of Barbara sunbathing, it is likely set in late spring or summer. But Catcher references the Cuban Missile Crisis and that did not occur till October 1962.

Early in the film, Barbara and Vikki are in a taxi discussing her interview with Catcher Block. In the next scene, Catcher and Peter are traveling in a taxi on the same street. Although the background of both scenes begin different, near the end you can see they are the same. This is made obvious by the same doorway entrance, the same woman entering her car, and the same car order in both scenes.
