Character mistake: Cynthia Kellogg comes forward to voluntarily give information about the James Urbanski case. Detective Nealy tells Kellogg, "As a matter of procedure, I have to inform you of your rights." Kellogg says she didn't do anything so doesn't need a lawyer. Nealy replies, "This is your right" and proceeds to inform her of her Miranda Rights. Miranda warnings are applicable to suspects/defendants who are in police custody (under arrest) and about to be interrogated, not voluntary witnesses. (00:03:02 - 00:03:57)
Character mistake: At the beginning of the movie, during "Provincial Life", we see a fat lady trying on a hat in a hat store. The sign over the window, in French, reads "Chapeau" (hat). The correct way to identify that store would have been "Chapeaux" (hats) or "Chapelier" (hatter).
Character mistake: When Sue Ellen first meets Rose (who says she's looking for Carolyn), Sue Ellen says Carolyn will be right back. Carolyn simply got up and left after a brief rude chat with Sue Ellen and never said anything about being "right back." Sue Ellen couldn't have known how long Carolyn would be gone for.
Suggested correction: She stated to whoever was on the phone that they would only have 12 seconds of her time because she had to keep directing applicants to personnel, so she would be "right back."
