• Newman's character has a few similarities with Lew Harper, the private eye played by Newman in Harper and The Drowning Pool. It is quite possible that "Twilight" is meant to be an unofficial end to the saga of Harper. Newman said he liked returning to his old characters, he did it with Eddie Felson in The Color of Money 25 years after The Hustler with great success. Lew Harper was the movie version of Lew Archer, the protagonist in Ross MacDonald's famous novels. In "Twilight", Newman plays Harry Ross, which is probably a nod to MacDonald. Gene Hackman played a detective named "Harry Moseby" in Night Moves, also based on a P.I. created by Ross MacDonald.
• Movie Goof (miscellaneous): After Catherine Ames leaves the pool and talks to Harry Ross you can see her hair is not wet, despite having been diving in the pool.
• Theatrical trailer features snippets of scenes not used in the final film, ie. Harry and Capt. Egan having an argument at the police station.
• Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Harry and Gloria are under the pier, their conversation doesn't match how and when their lips are moving.
