Factual error: A scene in the second half of the film pans up over the top of the Flamingo hotel/casino facing north up the Vegas strip. The Caesars Palace sign is to the left (west) and north of the Flamingo are the Sands, the Dunes, and the Frontier casinos in that order. The Dunes hotel/casino was never located between the Sands and the Frontier. It was in fact one of the southernmost located casinos on the strip at that time and would have technically been behind, southwest of, the Flamingo in this scene.
Factual error: This film is set in the 1960's. The Ford transit van belonging to Russell, the group's roadie, is a facelifted 1971 model.
Factual error: The TV remotes of the day wouldn't control more than one TV at a time, yet they all come on and go off at the same rime.
Factual error: During the Jousting all the knights fail to use their lances correctly by putting them across the horse's neck, instead they just attack each other on the lance arm.
Factual error: At the end of the movie, Mame takes Peter with her on a trip to Siberia. However, at this point in the timeline, it's the late 1940s, meaning that Stalin was still in power, so even Auntie Mame would be crazy to think of vacationing in Russia. Not to mention the difficulties of getting Peter a visa to travel to the USSR at the last minute. (In the stage version, the destination was India, rather than Siberia, which makes a lot more sense).
Factual error: When Vince Edwards is marking months off the calendar he marks months off on two consecutive years that have the same days of the week. That never happens.
Factual error: Ma Tatum, while bemoaning Pappy's misfortune, sits herself on a burlap bag marked "Mash". Mash, the basic component of moonshine, is a semi-liquid, and couldn't be stored in a burlap bag.
Factual error: Anthropology Professor Robert Orwell Sutwell explains that his black kimono was a gift from "the Tokyo Fire Department." The seven characters embroidered on the kimono are Chinese, not Japanese.
Factual error: First time I ever saw a 600 mile NASCAR race where nobody had to make a tire change.
Factual error: Cagey Joe's pullover definitely looks more 1976 than 1926.
Factual error: In Danny Kaye's song about "The Emperor's New Clothes" he persistently and repeatedly uses the words "the king is in the altogether." Hans Christian Andersen lived from 1805 to 1875, but the expression "in the altogether", meaning naked, was invented and popularised by George Du Maurier in his novel "Trilby" which was not published until 1894.
Factual error: The first shot of the calendar shows two days numbered as 20 and March ending on the 24th. In the following shot it's fixed.
Factual error: In the opening, they are playing 'Life in the Fast Lane' by the Eagles, and they do a closeup of the studio turntable playing the last song on an album, but 'Life in the Fast Lane' is the second song on 'Hotel California' - not the last. (00:04:24)
Factual error: No judge would award guardianship of a person with something like autism to a sibling who's a recovering alcoholic and drug dealer.
Suggested correction: I think it is POSSIBLE, but not probable. Someone on the spectrum may have poor coping skills when dealing with strangers or would not do well if placed in an unfamiliar environment. Placement with a sibling - even one as you described (recovering alcoholic and drug dealer) - may be less traumatic and disruptive than with a non-relative or stranger. A judge would have to weigh the bad against the good while considering the person's needs and the sibling's ability to meet or exceed those needs.
Factual error: When the race starts, the people are waving American flags with 48 stars: 6 rows of 8 stars each. However, in 1908, when the race took place, there were only 46 states.
Factual error: When the stork is flying to deliver Dumbo, the map shows the state of Kentucky above Alabama and Mississippi instead of Tennessee. (00:07:15)
Factual error: One does not simply walk (or run) onto or off a U.S. Navy ship. Every individual coming aboard stops at the head of the brow (gangplank to civilians), faces the ensign (flag) at the stern and salutes, then turns to face the officer of the deck (OOD), salutes again, and says, "Request permission to come aboard, sir." The OOD returns the salute and says, "Permission granted," whereupon the individual steps off the brow onto the ship. A similar procedure is used when leaving the ship, with the individual requesting permission to go ashore.
Factual error: At the beginning of Quintet, a modern Manhattan skyline is visible in the distance not a late 1950s skyline. Also, the view is consistent with the Paterson, NJ filming location, not the Upper West Side.
Factual error: When Buster joins the card game in the saloon, he looks at the hand of the player that had just left. Given the circumstances in the saloon, the cards cannot be spot clean and white as fresh snow. Also, they seem to be plastic cards, which did not exist yet back then.
Factual error: The "Olympic team" sailing on the ship consists of approximately 18 men. The actual 1952 US Olympic team consisted of 286 competitors (245 men and 41 women), plus a large number of coaches, trainers, and so on.
