Trivia
According to Steve Guttenberg's autobiography, "The Guttenberg Bible", the original camera crew was fired during the first week and replaced by Producer Dino De Laurentiis with crew members who only spoke Italian. Soon afterwards, Curtis Hanson insisted on hiring Gilbert Taylor to replace the Italian cinematographer.

Goofs
After Terry (Steve Guttenberg) loses Chris (Brad Greenquist) after following him to a bar, he hides in his car in a side alley near Chris' home, waiting for him. When Chris arrives home, Terry drives slowly out from the side alley; a crew member wearing a red jacket and blue jeans can be seen through the rear window, behind Terry's car.

Entertaining, so nothing else matters ................

Steve Guttenberg is a real surprise here, playing the innocent suspected of being a killer. His transformation to hero type is not always believable, but his performance is earnest. If you throw out the somewhat of a stretch ending, you are left with a twisty thriller that delivers strong entertainment value. The movie is quite tense at times, and the Baltimore filming location works. I put this film in the same category as movies like "Red Rock West" and "Clay Pigeons". All three have a mostly believable script, competent acting, and most importantly, all three are very entertaining. "The Bedroom Window" is recommended of it's type. - MERK
