Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jim falls on the ice, his position relative to the end of the sidewalk changes.
John Houseman was cast as Professor Kingsfield only after director James Bridges tried and failed to interest James Mason, Edward G. Robinson, Melvyn Douglas, Sir John Gielgud, and Paul Scofield. Although Houseman had appeared in a small but important role in Seven Days in May, he had previously been known primarily as a radio (The Mercury Theatre of the Air; 1938's 'The War of the Worlds'), stage (Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre) and film (Julius Caesar) producer, and this was his first major film role. It won him the 1973 Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jim jumps on the bed next to Susan, his position next to her changes between shots.
