** When Matthew and Elizabeth try taking a cab to the airport, they look terrified as the cab pulls away. This wasn't entirely acting: the cab driver was played by Don Siegel, who was actually driving the cab and had ''terrible'' night vision without his glasses, which he was too vain to wear on camera. Add in neither Creator/DonaldSutherland nor Brooke Adams being able to wear seat belts, and their look of terror takes on a new light.
