Factual error: After the interview between J. Edgar and Tolson, they go to a well known D.C. area department store. The exterior of the store shows, "Julius Garfinkle & Co." but on the credit application it reads, "Julius Garfinckel & Co." It was founded as, "Julius Garfinkel & Co." in 1905 even though the owner's name did indeed have a "C" in it.

J. Edgar Hoover: What's important at this time is to re-clarify the difference between hero and villain.
Trivia: Before production began, Judi Dench was still suffering from a toe injury she obtained whilst working on her previous movie. She didn't tell anyone about the injury as she didn't want to lose her role.
