Audio problem: After the scene with the white dude visiting Sanford to look for cotton, we see the reverend being greeted by a bunch of people playing billiards. There's a marked discontinuity even in the audio played as he walks forward to a hi-five, not to mention that nobody had the cue anywhere near the green carpet but still you see in the second shot that balls are rolling. (00:46:00)
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Ossie Davis
Starring: Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St. Jacques, Calvin Lockhart, Judy Pace
Continuity mistake: As the swindling painter tickles/pats the chin of the lady his compadre is snatching the money from, he does that with his thumb outwards or inwards as we switch from shot to reverse shot.
Mabel: Now what would a bail of cotton be doing in Harlem?
