Other mistake: In the scene where Margaret is wearing a bright-blue dress and a woman is sewing a button onto it while about six men stand around and wait, the woman finishes sewing the button on, but keeps on going, even though it's fixed. The whole thing takes ten times longer than it should.
Other mistake: Early on, the Babe is seen showing up late at a game in Boston, staggering hung-over to the plate, and hitting a home run. But this was a home game; it would have been the bottom of the first, and if Ruth hadn't been there by game time, some other player would already be playing in his place.
Suggested correction: By the time Babe Ruth played, substitutions were allowed at anytime. Thus, when Ruth showed up late and batted in the bottom of the 1st, he became a substitution for whomever was playing his position during the top of the 1st.
The manager tells the guy who is about to go up to bat to sit down because Babe's here. So Ruth would be pinch-hitting.
Other mistake: In the scene in the KNX broadcast studio, a shot from the engineer's point-of-view shows VU meters with their needles not moving, even though Bob Crane is talking.
Other mistake: When Otto Preminger calls Trumbo from his car to announce that Trumbo's real name would be credited for Exodus, Preminger tells him to look at the front page of the New York Times. The problem is that Trumbo has already picked up the paper from his counter and is reading before Preminger even tells him which newspaper features the article.
Other mistake: The inmates are watching "The Godfather"; specifically, the scene towards the end in which Don Corleone is speaking to Michael in the garden. Just before the inmates light the guard on fire, the audio jumps backwards: after we hear Don Corleone say "Whoever comes to you with this Barzini business...", the next line we hear is "I knew that Santino was gonna have to go through all this...", which is from earlier in the same scene. We then see the film and see Don Corleone's lips forming the line that follows the Barzini line, while the audio continues with the incorrect, earlier line. (01:35:15)
Other mistake: During the opening sequence there is a shot of a muddy river where we are shown the credits for Director of Photography, Camera, Sound, Film Editor etc. When "Camera" is credited there is a number 2 next to it, that is the order in which the credit appears, but none of the other credits are numbered. (00:06:20)
Suggested correction: That's not a mistake. Fransisco Joán and Orlando Macchiavello were second cinematographers (2. Kamera in the original German film credits).
Other mistake: When Marilyn is standing on the subway grate and the skirt is billowing up, there is one of the takes where there is a dark spot near the front of the skirt. All others are spotless.
Other mistake: Before the opening scene, where there is a paragraph setting up the history of the musical, in the third line there is a spelling error: "it's" should be "its" since it is a possessive pronoun and not a contraction.
Other mistake: When Erin starts working on the case, her youngest daughter is supposedly 10 months old. Later on in the film, Erin says she's been working on the case for 18 months, which would make her daughter more than 2 1/2 years old, but the actress playing the daughter is at least a year too young for that. Also, Katie and Matthew don't age at all over those 18 months.
Other mistake: When Ben Chapman is yelling racial slurs at Jackie Robinson, his socks don't match the other Phillies players' uniforms. He is actually wearing the socks from the Boston Brave (Atlanta Braves now).
Other mistake: Judy is singing on stage with some showgirls. She is singing into a wired microphone. At the end of the song she twirls around twice, but the microphone does not appear to get wrapped around her. (00:49:35)
Other mistake: At the very beginning of the film, we see Christie commit a murder at the end of the Second World War whilst wearing the uniform of a Special Constable. Christie served during the First World War, and he wears the ribbons of the 1914 or 1914/15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal on his tunic. Unfortunately, whoever put them on put the bar upside down - they read from left to right VM, BWM, Star.
Other mistake: When Rezendes is interviewing abuse victim Patrick in Mitchell Garabedian's office, the books on the lower shelf behind Patrick contain reported court cases from California, New York and the Southern Reporter (covering Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana). But the events are unfolding in Boston, Massachusetts. No small law office in Boston would have these volumes in the library, because the cases in them would have no precedent or relevance for Massachusetts law and cases.
Other mistake: When Lindbergh is forced to parachute out of a stalled plane near the beginning of the movie, the plane goes into a spin. It crosses the screen twice, first below Lindbergh's parachute and then above, indicating that Lindbergh is falling faster than the plane (which is possible, since the plane is spiraling rather than falling straight down). However (as indicated by the loud noise heard off-camera), the plane somehow manages to hit the ground first.
Other mistake: Either there was or wasn't a 5-year contract from the onset. At first, Sherwood told Bob, "It's just a pilot episode. If we get picked up for a series." Narrator Barry Williams said his agent called to tell him "the network picked up the Brady Bunch for a full season." Season One ended but Sherwood didn't call "until the last minute" to tell the cast they "would be coming back to a second season." Later, Sherwood told Bob that he knew when he did the pilot that he signed a 5-year contract. (00:05:50 - 00:21:40)
Suggested correction: Those two things are not mutually exclusive and that's not how it works in the television industry. Actors usually have to sign a test option agreement with the studio prior to the pilot being picked up (sometimes even before auditioning). This ensures the studio that the actor is committed to the project long term should the pilot be picked up, but signing the contract agreement doesn't guarantee the pilot will be picked up. A 5-year test option agreement seems pretty standard.
I'm aware of such contracts - and surely Florence Henderson would have also been required to sign a five-year agreement, but there (conveniently) was no mention of this.
Other mistake: Elsa Brecht is holding an official piece of mail sent from the Coconut Grove Hotel in Miami but it's postmarked Orlando, Florida. There's no legitimate reason the mail would be postmarked Orlando when Orlando is 235 miles from Miami. (01:24:16)
Other mistake: When Potiphar is buying the horse, Zuleika calls him Joseph when calling him to come fan her before they then ask him for his name. (00:30:00)
Other mistake: In the courtroom scene, when Chief Sunday tells Brashear to stand up, the tenders go to help him up without question, and when Captain Hanks overrides him, saying that he has to stand up himself, even they look confused and surprised. They wouldn't be just some random enlisted sailors doing this, they have been trained in being a tender, and would reasonably know what the policies are. (01:56:50)
Other mistake: Throughout the film, the Hickams' phone buzzes. When Elsie throws the phone into the yard, it breaks to reveal a pair of bells.
Other mistake: Bobby Kennedy is seen watching television, including a scene that seems to be the shooting of Oswald. However, the Oswald shooting happens about 16 minutes later. (00:41:40 - 00:58:00)
