Anecdotes
Sigourney Weaver's character was based on an object of infatuation that Steve Tesich had with a Washington, D.C. anchorwoman. He recorded her broadcasts and had pictures of her like William Hurt's character had in the film of Weaver. The actual anchorwoman was brought in by Peter Yates for technical support to make Weaver's character more believable.

Gaffes
There is a security camera very obviously placed in the outer office outside of where the murder takes place, yet during the investigation no mention is made of it.

However, perhaps (circa 1981) it's a closed-circuit, live feed only (no recordings made), and no one viewing the live security screens noticed anything unusual.

Intriguing at first, but eventually disappoints ...........

There is a murder without an apparent motive, so the viewer is in the dark for over half the film. When someone is killed without the audience being involved with the "why", interest quickly wains. Such is the case with "Eyewitness". Despite totally acceptable acting from a terrific cast, the film seems slow and constantly bogging down in blind alley subplots. When the motive for the murder is finally revealed, it almost seems like it comes out of a different movie, having little to do with what precedes it. William Hurt is very good as the mild mannered janitor with a crush on television news reporter Sigourney Weaver. Christopher Plummer is very effective in bad guy roles such as here, or in films like "The Silent Partner". James Woods plays James Woods, which is always interesting. Overall though, things never come together, due mainly to the muddled script. - MERK
