Goofs
According to title cards at the end of the film, Dan White's lawyers argued that consumption of junk food caused a chemical imbalance in his brain. White's lawyers actually claimed that massive consumption of junk food was a symptom of his depression, not a cause. Psychologists employed by White's defense argued that he was clinically depressed, as evidenced by changes in behavior, including consumption of large quantities of junk food. One psychologist claimed that junk food may have contributed to White's mood swings.

When Scott leaves Harvey, Scott pets the family dog, which is sitting in an easy chair, and exits. Harvey paces around the room immediately after, and the chair is empty. When he sits in the chair opposite a second later, the dog is back, in the same position as before.

Quotes
Cleve Jones: I went to Spain last month, long story. In Barcelona there was this memorial march for gay people that had died under Franco. Of course, the police tried to break it up, but these queens didn't run, no, they turned around and they started a fucking riot. I saw a bullet, one of those rubber bullets rip through a drag queens scalp, but she kept on fighting; she was screaming, but she kept on fighting. I mean, our lives... There was blood, literally running in the gutter. In a gutter.

Q
Is 'Milk' based on a book?
A
Milk was filmed from an original script by Dustin Lance Black and based upon new interviews with Harvey Milk's surviving friends and associates.Because much of the film's action concerns interaction between people who now are dead, much of Milk is speculative fiction based upon fact.
Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for Milk can be found here.
Q
Music from what opera reappears throughout the film?
A
(1) The beginning and end of Act III of Giacomo Puccini's 1900 opera, "Tosca", (2) As Scott Smith moves out, Harvey Milk plays an LP record of tenor Giuseppe di Stefano performing the aria, E lucevan le stelle, and (3) As Harvey Milk watches a performance of the opera, extra Catherine Cook appeared on stage as Nelly Miricioiu's voice was heard (from the TOSCA recording on the Naxos label, which was listed in the credits even though the names of Miricioiu and tenor Miroslav Dvorsky were not).
