* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The film takes place at a bustling newspaper with no hint that online news would eat the heart out of print journalism in only a few years' time.
** The editor Bernie White is allowed to smoke in his office, where he calls all of the head writers for their daily scrum, with only a single hypochondriac complaining. In modern times, offices are smoke-free environments for just about everyone.
** White, the editor, complains that his newspaper has too many opinion columnists, which is either unintentionally dated or prescient. Newspapers and online news sites have increasingly relied onto flashy and partisan opinion pieces to attract readers, which has degraded the overall quality of news.
** Alicia does not run Henry's story because she couldn't reach him for two hours. In modern times, she could have just called his cell phone. She's shot while trying to make a call at a bar payphone. The only cell phone we do see is bulky and looks like a walkie-talkie.
