Unfaithful

Other mistake: In the cafe Connie calls her lover Paul from the phone, says she is around the corner from his apartment and asks if he will wait for her. She walks to her table, and before she even has time to sit down at her table, which is only about 15 ft. from the phone she used, he comes walking up to the cafe door. He is supposed to live on the 2nd or 3rd floor, so he would have had to jump 2 or 3 floors and hit the ground running to even possibly make it there before she is able to sit down after hanging the phone up a few seconds earlier. (00:58:20)

Other mistake: When the police arrive at the house the marked police car had Ardsley Police on the side. The other vehicle was unmarked. Charlie tells his mom it's NYPD before the detectives come into the house and introduce themselves. (01:34:00 - 01:35:00)

Other mistake: The first time the cops come to the house, Connie and her son see them from the upstairs window, and start walking downstairs. It then cuts to the cops in the living room looking around, and Connie walks in and introduces herself. Her husband is not home, so did the cops just walk into in the house without knocking?

Suggested correction: I'm pretty sure the housekeeper let them in if you listen carefully.

Other mistake: In the scene where Paul and Connie having their first lunch out and Connie feeling nervous Paul tells her if the guy on right pays etc. When Paul says, ''and i get to kiss u'' he puts down his cigarette on a tray on the table. 2 seconds later the camera goes to Connie to say "No'' and the cigarette is back in his hand.

Other mistake: After Edward kills the boyfriend, there is a scene where the family is having what appears to be Thanksgiving dinner. If it really is Thanksgiving, the timeline doesn't make any sense, since the rest of the movie appears to be in the spring time. For example: When the cops come to Diane Lane's house for the second time, she and Edward are working in the garden, and they remind her that she was in SoHo four weeks prior. Certainly someone wouldn't be working in the garden a couple weeks after Thanksgiving in New York, unless the line about "four weeks ago" is an error.

Other mistake: When the son is going to the potty, you hear him peeing but there is no stream of urine.

Continuity mistake: The mark that Paul writes on Connie's hips becomes darker when Connie is in the bathtub. The flower isn't even the same - it changes directions and there is a small line in between the pestles originally that isn't there in the bathtub scene.

Connie Sumner: I think this was a mistake.
Paul: There is no such thing as a mistake. There are things you do, and things you don't do.

Question: The final scene in the car at the red light in front of the Police station. They are discussing escaping to Mexico for the rest of their lives. They hold each other. The car doesn't move. Do they give themselves up to the police? Is that what the writer is implying?

Answer: Although Connie wanted them to go to Mexico and assume new identities, it is implied that Edward, who initially goes along with that idea, will likely turn himself into the police. However, there's no definitive ending given, so the audience is left to interpret the outcome.

An alternative ending was shot in which Edward says goodbye to Connie in the car and walks into the police station. The director discusses this on the commentary track. The alternate ending is on the DVD.

Answer: Connie wants to say she is guilty and asks her husband to forgive her.

Answer: I think that they had already decided that Edward would turn himself in after the school event. That's why the were so sad when they danced and why they engaged in an escape fantasy conversation at the red light. They knew that the police would soon figure it out and it was only a matter of time before Edward would be arrested. Rather than live in fear, they decided that it would be better for Edward to turn himself in. That's my answer but I have two other questions that I can not answer. 1. WHY did she do it? 2. How long did the affair last? I can't figure out the season but m y guess is between fall and the end of November but I can't be sure because the seasons don't seem to be correct. Is it sunny/warm enough to plant a garden in November in NY? I don't think so.

"Why did she do it?" I think that is the question she asked herself once she realised that she had made a terrible choice. Initially, it made her feel alive and young and excited. She had everything, but she began to feel invisible. Ultimately, her son will suffer the impact of her choice, and she will never have peace again.
