Continuity mistake: Skinny-dipping in the pond, Charles Bronson kisses Natalie Wood holding her face between both hands, which turns to one hand in the following shot. (00:53:55)
Continuity mistake: Under the shower, Alva holds the envelope Owen gave her in two different ways that keep switching, depending on which take they used in editing. (01:19:05)
Continuity mistake: Making the hard malt liquor toast, Alva shatters the glass of Mr. Johnson, but the glass is back whole in the rest of the scene. (01:21:20)
Continuity mistake: Alva writes the postcard to Willie with the card perfectly aligned to the drawboard in the wider shots, but across the corner in the close-up. (01:40:55)
Continuity mistake: In Papa's room, Alva goes to the window to pull the curtains. Robert Redford is lying on the bed with the right arm across and over his head. There's a close-up in between two shots with him in that position, with an intermediate one when he says "Thank you" with his arm down. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: Sidney kisses Alva as she tells him the dream of going to New Orleans. She has her handkerchief in her right hand, suddenly clutching it to her chest with the left. And she is holding it against his arm with the right as the angle changes again. (00:23:20)
Continuity mistake: Alva stands up from the swinging bench after the Hummingbird Express has passed. Sidney, by her, has his left hand firmly on the armrest, but the same arm is across his lap in the next shot as if he tried to reach for her. (00:22:30)
Continuity mistake: Peeved by Owen's trick about the gator and ducks pond, Alva gets outside the kitchen, where instantly she stumbles into Sidney. She is holding her right hand in front of her mouth, which becomes a left hand to her chest with the closer angle. (00:20:55)
Continuity mistake: Willie was setting Owen up in Papa's room but storms outside to halt the drunk guys. She says "Get out of here Linsday Tate" with her hair in front of both shoulders, but in the previous shot she was standing with her hair behind her right shoulder. (00:12:05)
Continuity mistake: Robert Redford is behind the train motorman. He is holding on to the top of the cart, but for the first close-up showing his face in the movie, evidently they didn't want his jacket to bundle up as his arms were lifted: he is in a completely different position. But he's again clinging to the top of the cart in the following shot. (00:06:10)
