Wait Until Dark

Continuity mistake: There's a scene where Audrey Hepburn's husband Sam is leaving their apartment. Standing on the pavement outside he hails a cab, which pulls up through a (quite sizeable) puddle, splashing him with water. Opposite him on the other side of the road are parked two cars and the villains' Volkswagen van. There's a quick cut-away exchange of "pleasantries" between Sam and the cabby before it drives off. The next shot has the villain (Richard Crenna) emerging from the van, crossing the street, and making for the door to their apartment, only all of a sudden the puddle has disappeared, as have the two cars which were parked behind the Volkswagen van.

Continuity mistake: Audrey Hepburn's hair changes in the last scene. For the whole movie it is straight with side-swept bangs, except for the last scene when she emerges from behind the refrigerator and embraces her husband she has straight bangs and curls on top of her head.
