An eagle-eyed staffer at IMDB.com has spotted a left-field
howler in the otherwise excellent Netflix whodunnit Glass Onion: A Knives Out
Mystery. While arriving on the beach Miles is playing the song
"Blackbird" by The Beatles and refers to the guitar as, "The
guitar he wrote it on" (referring to Paul McCartney), which he played on a
Martin D 28 guitar, and while the guitar he is playing is of similar look
(despite not having a brand name on the headstock), Paul McCartney plays guitar
left handed and the guitar he is playing is clearly a right handed model.
