At the very end where the Judge 'Abraham Sofaer' turns to Abraham Farlan' Raymond Massey' to ask if Peter Carter' David Niven's' newly adjudged date of death was acceptable he said it was, if only in real life he knew he would be agreeing to his own death date, They both passed away on the same day and same year July 29, 1983 I'm surprised this hasn't been picked up on this board before truly a case of Art Imitating Life

A superb film by the way

My god, It's full of stars

Wow(!) just verified that...both died on the same day.

A extremely bizarre coincidence or.. something more(?)...

This is the reason I love this website.
