Continuity mistake: Meryl Streep as Sophie emotionally describes the loss of her children and rubs her eye, smudging her eyeliner which makes a small black line out to the side of her face. In the next shot, the smudge has disappeared.

Nathan Landau: On this bridge on which so many great Americans writers stood and reached out for words to give America its voice... looking toward the land that gave them Whitman... from its Eastern edge dreamt his country's future and gave it words... on this span of which Thomas Wolfe and Hart Crane wrote, we welcome Stingo into that pantheon of the Gods... whose words are all we know of immortality. To Stingo.
Trivia: Meryl Streep could only bring herself to do one take of the choice scene, she begged the movie producers not to make her do it again.
