* LiarRevealed: Dickie discovers through a letter from his father that Tom is only in Italy to bring him back home. This comes to a head when the two are out on a boat trip alone, [[spoiler:with Dickie telling him to leave and Tom murdering him with an oar]].
Added DiffLines:
* TerribleArtist: Dickie is quite the connoisseur of the arts, including owning a painting by Creator/PabloPicasso. This does not translate into his actual abilities, with most of his paintings being poorly drawn and have little detail, with Tom having to lie to his face about their quality.

* ArtisticLicense: When talking to the police in Venice, Thomas states that his address is Calle Sella Rota 8. Not only does this street not face any canal (unlike his rented palace), but in Venice, houses are not numbered separately street by street, but continuosly throughout each of the six main city districts (''sestieri''). In reality, there could be no Calle Sella Rota 8, since in the area of ''sestiere'' Dorsoduro where the street is located, the house numbers are in mid-800s. the correct form of address would therefore be, for example, Dorsoduro 858, Calle Sella Rotta.
