Corrected entry: Both Ron Anderson's show "The Rubber Faced Revue" and "Elephant." that are shown, are being staged at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, simultaneously. It's meant to look like two different theatres, but it's only one, doubling (rather unconvincingly) as two.
The Tall Guy (1989)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mel Smith
Starring: Emma Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, Rowan Atkinson, Geraldine James
Revealing mistake: In a shower scene, the camera moves to a point which allows us to see the shorts that Dexter is wearing to keep his modesty.
Ron Anderson: Listen, Dexter, is there something troubling you? Something that you would like to talk to someone about?
Dexter: Well, yes, as a matter of fact there is.
Ron Anderson: Then for fuck's sake talk to someone about it, will you? And sort it out before I sack you and hire a lobotomized monkey to play your role. Okay?

Correction: The Theatre Royal in Drury Lane is too expensive for a long run of a play. Plays will debut there, catch their audience, then move on to a West End theatre. Obviously the Rubber Face Revue had done just that, vacating the Royal in time for the debut of "Elephant."
