She's No Angel picture

Other mistake: In this made for TV movie, there is a front licence plate on a Suburban the Tracy Gold character hitches a ride with. The front plate reads: 2GAT123, a California plate that I have seen in numerous movies and TV shows. The rear plate reads completely different, I believe it was 4BGO468, shown briefly as the vehicle leaves a parking lot.

The Cat's Meow picture

Factual error: The movie "Cat's Meow," about a real incident that occurred on William R. Hearst's yacht, includes a scene where a female guest, awakened by a gunshot, is wearing hair clips. Those objects were not available in the 1920s, and even if they were, they are totally ineffectual on her combed-flat hair style.

Other mistake: When the guy that is hosting the hair competition is looking up at the old train station display board and going through the names of the salons, The Cut Above is on there, even though they haven't entered the competition at that stage. (00:14:40)

Conspiracy picture

Continuity mistake: In a head-on shot, where Adolf Eichmann is the main character in the shot, he is shown lighting a cigarette, fully, and lowering his lighter. In the very next shot, he is shown from a side angle as a background character and again has the lighter to his cigarette, and lowers it, although it had already been lit in the previous shot.

Charlotte Gray picture

Plot hole: The police wanted to take Julian's father away as a Jew because they found out his grandparents (plural) were Jewish. Even assuming they were only talking about one set of grandparents, this would make the father half Jewish, and therefore in the eyes of the Nazis, a Jew. That means that Julian would then be one quarter Jewish, and also considered a Jew. But the police then go on to say that the father is one quarter Jewish, but Julian is only one eighth Jewish, and therefore not a Jew. But he'd have to have only one Jewish great-grandparent to be non-Jewish, and they already confirmed that he had at least two. The numbers don't add up.
