The postcard was originally scripted to read "I know your secret", but was substituted by the director when the actor kept screwing up the take.

Maybe. But by virtue of its camera movements, it transcends the theatrical.

"The Player" was an interesting but mediocre film. Not one of Altman's best. The best things in it were D'Onofrio and Goldberg.
