Other mistake: When Tom calls Schatze the first time and mentions seeing her ads in magazines, in the following shots while Schatze's on the phone and particularly while she's talking to Pola, we see the milk carton on the table which has tape all the way around it covering its brand name on both sides.

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Jean Negulesco
Starring: Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, David Wayne, Betty Grable
Continuity mistake: While Schatze's getting ready for her wedding, when Pola comes in she tries on the fur stole and instead of putting the fur stole back on the bed it slips onto the floor, but when Loco walks in with Eben the fur stole is lying on the bed beside the fur coat, though it wasn't touched. Pola's fur wrap near the flowers has also moved. (01:21:55)
Loco Dempsey: You don't think he's a little old?
Schatze Page: Wealthy men are never old.
Trivia: When Waldo and Loco (Betty Grable) are at the lodge, Loco says the music playing on the radio is Harry James. Waldo asks how she knows that, and she says she just knows that it's him. This is a movie in-joke because at that time, Grable was married to Harry James, the famous bandleader, in real life.
