I saw "Romancing the Stone" yesterday. Having read the discussion here about the hero's untimely reference to "Jesse", I took particular notice when the credits rolled for the person in charge of Continuity. It is one Carolyn Wookey. Hmmmm....

If I'm not mistaken, "continuity" in films and TV does not relate to foreknowledge, but to things like how far the cigarette in the actor's hand has burned. If it's fresh at one point, and the next camera angle shows it half gone, and the next shows it fresh, you've lost continuity. It is up to the scriptwriters to keep references like that out of the picture. ---- "Fritz! They've killed Fritz!" -- Allan Pratt ...ihnp4!inuxc!iuvax!apratt (please do not respond to iuvax!notes)
