Quotes
Kay Graham:
When Phil died it was just - I was 45 years old and I had never held - I never had to hold a job in my life. But, I just, I loved the paper, you know. I do. I do so love the paper. I don't want it to be my fault. I don't want to be the one - I don't...
Goofs
Meryl Streep, as Kay Graham, is wearing specially made high heels throughout the film to give Streep the height she needed for the role. The high heels have very large platform soles and were certainly not in style in 1971. Graham was 5'9" and Streep is 5'6". The same technique was used in "Julie & Julia" when Streep needed to play the 6'2" Julia Child.
Crazy Credits
The DVD opens with the standard credits from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security warning against pirating home video recordings and stating "Piracy is not a victimless crime," but the whole movie is about an individual who steals intellectual property and is presented as a hero for doing so.
