Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): As a nun, Sister Helen has her ring on her right hand instead of her left, as it should be for a married woman.
After being told that she would be played in the film by "a famous actress from Thelma & Louise", Sister Helen Prejean was introduced to Susan Sarandon and said "Thank God, she's Louise."
Movie Goof (continuity error): The shoulder straps disappear after Matthew's death.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Sister Helen and Mr. Delacroix are first speaking in his living room, a crew member wanders into the background outside the window and then quickly runs out.
