Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the scene when Estella comes to Finn's hotel room some strands of her hair, which were hanging in front of her face, get tucked behind her ears, while she is sitting on the bed with her hands down. (00:52:10)

NancyFelix

Plot hole: When Estella comes into Finn's hotel room while he is sleeping she uses a hotel key. This key should have been with Finn as he was in his room, and his explanation for her her being allowed in - lax security - doesn't close this plot hole. (00:51:40)

NancyFelix

Audio problem: When Finn meets Estella at the club you hear her boyfriend telling a story about Michelangelo. Most of it must have been dubbed, only at the very end he is actually mouthing his words. (00:49:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Finn rides the subway from the airport to the hotel he his playing with a airplane model. In close-up it lands on the NY subway map, which hangs behind Finn on the wall, way beyond reach while he is sitting there. (00:44:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene in Mrs. Dinsmoor's bedroom the background changes: A green dress disappears from the wardrobe, and a huge mirror appears where you can see Finn's reflection. (00:43:20)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Mrs. Thrall appears for the first time on the phone with a customer a few German words suggest that she is of German origin. Her accent reveals that she is not. (00:45:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Dinsmoor leaves the terrace the glass of wine which she had just emptied is almost full again. (00:38:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the beginning Joe mentions that Mrs. Dinsmoor was left by her groom at her wedding 30 years ago. In the scene on the terrace, about 8 years later, she says that this happened to her 26 years ago. (00:36:45)

Visible crew/equipment: When Estella and Finn kiss each other at Finn's place there is a mike in front of Finn's head (upper left corner). (00:35:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After drinking from the fountain together with Finn, Estella goes up the stairs. In the next shot Finn is shown looking after her, camera pointing from the top of the stairs. These stairs have a straight landing, in contrast to the ones Estella went up. (00:27:00)

NancyFelix

Plot hole: Before Lustig dies he gives back Finn's scrapbook that got lost during their first encounter. In that scene there is no evidence that Lustig gets hold of the book, and the only explanation would be that Lustig picked up the stranded scrapbook later. This looks quite far-fetched to me, especially since Lustig was hiding in the dunes, and the scrapbook looked way to good to have spent a long time in the water. (01:35:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After looking at her portrait Estella folds it up and puts both ends in one hand not to have to look at it any more. When she gets up she is holding it with both hands again. (00:25:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Finn paints Estella's portrait Mrs. Dinsmoor puts down the same empty glass twice. (00:24:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Finn comes back with Estella to draw her portrait Mrs. Dinsmoor's sofa is rearranged: e.g. a table with flowers is gone, the blanket covers the whole backrest now, and a stool is placed in front as a support for Finn's drawing. (00:22:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The piece of wallpaper Mrs. Dinsmoor pulls off the wall for Finn to draw on is perfectly rectangular, in contrast to the oddly shaped one Finn actually uses. (00:23:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On the shed where Joe parks his car after on his return from Mrs. Dinsmoor's place there's a sign "Joe Coleman Handyman" and a covering net which weren't there when when Finn came home after his encounter with Lustig. (00:16:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film when Finn meets Lustig again at night he gives him a bottle of whiskey. Lustig takes long gulps and pours loads of whiskey over his injured ankle, but the bottle stays full throughout the scene. (00:09:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Finn is being picked up by the police boat alternating shots show a buoy (which had a helpful sudden entrance as a hiding place for Lustig) either in front or at the side of his motionless boat. (00:12:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Finn goes back home in his boat after his first encounter with Lustig his clothes, which had been drenched before, are completely dry. (00:05:05)

NancyFelix

Plot hole: At the beginning of the film Lustig suddenly emerges from the water right in front of Finn. It's not possible that he could have been hiding in the shallow water without Finn noticing him. (00:03:40)
