Continuity mistake: As Harold and Sarah approach the stairs outside their home, after saying goodbye to a funeral guest, Nick is sitting on the edge of the stairs and says "Hi" to them. Harold has his arm around Sarah's waist from the rear camera angle, as it cuts to a front angle his arm is on her shoulder. (00:24:15)
Michael: [At the wake.] Great tradition! They throw a great party for you on the one day they know you can't come!
Trivia: The house used in the film, is the same house used in the movie "The Great Santini". The house is called "Tidalholm" and it is located in Beaufort, S.C. It was built 1853c., and was used by the Union Army as a hospital during the Civil War.

Correction: It's not a rumour and Costner wasn't an extra - his character (Alex) had a considerable speaking role, all shown in flashback. These flashbacks made the film three and a half hours long, so director Lawrence Kasdan cut the lot.
