Trivia:
The music playing when Brenner and Sunhill find Moore dead is "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana". moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the armory scene, Belling takes an M-16 out of a box with an M-203 grenade launcher attached to it. In the next shot the grenade launcher is gone and the M-16 has standard hand guards. moreQuotes:
[Going through Campbell's highly organized closet]Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.: This was one squared-away soldier. Equally prepared for a military ball or the next war in the jungle.

The General's Daughter may be flawed, but thanks to the acting, it's hardly a matter. John Travolta gives a good performance and James Woods gives an even better one, showing that one scene with back and forth dialougue can make one film pretty interesting. Still, a good mystery, with the plot set in good place for one of Travolta's best pics. A-
