Continuity mistake: When Robert Conway meets the High Lama, the High Lama is shown in a long shot without his crutches. As Conway approaches him and we see the High Lama up close, the crutches suddenly appear.
Continuity mistake: When Bob Conway meets with the High Lama, there is a pillar candle atop a 2 ft tall ornate candle holder, on the table beside the Shangri-La founder. The style of the tall candle holder is actually completely different between the High Lama's side shots and close-up; the height of the wide candle greatly differs as well.
