Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben knocks on "Sarah's" back door with the apples, the sides of her hair are up and it is evident that there are no visible bruises on her face. However, the next evening at dinner, "Sarah" has her hair down and after moving her hair, a large, fresh bruise is observed by Ben. If this bruise was present, it would have been seen the night before when "Sarah's" hair was 1/2 up.

Sleeping with the Enemy has Julia Roberts as the victimized wife of an abusive and controlling successful man that she escapes by faking her own drowning during a boat trip. She reinvents herself and attempts to keep in touch with her elderly mother and restart her life far from the posh home that she had shared with her possessive and compulsive husband, but her happiness is short-lived and soon she must face her tormentor in this dramatic thriller. Patrick Bergen plays Martin, the mustachioed maniac who doggedly follows her from Cape Cod to Iowa. Can Laura (known as Sara in Iowa) have a happy ending?! Will Martin get his revenge for his wife leaving him? See the climatic ending to find out.

Laura: That was the night that I died, and someone else was saved. Someone who was afraid of water, but learned to swim. Someone who knew there would be one moment, where he wouldn't be watching. Someone who knew that the darkness of the broken lights would show the way.
Trivia: When Laura's husband hits her at the beginning and she falls on the floor, it's really Julia Roberts falling. It's her head actually banging on the floor. Fortunately, the filmming crew got it on the first take.
Question: Does anyone know where the scene in the theater was filmed, where Julia Roberts is on the stage with the swing and the snow, and then backstage playing in the costumes?

Answer: Filmed at the Abbeville Opera House in Abbeville SC. From imdb Trivia: Star 'Julia Roberts' caused a controversy after she left Abbeville, South Carolina, where the film shot some location work. She said the place was "a living hell" and a "horribly racist" town and she would never return there again.
