Factual error: The view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Drayton's terrace is not in San Francisco, but from the Marin side of the bridge.
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)
1 factual error
Directed by: Stanley Kramer
Starring: Sidney Poitier, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Katharine Houghton
Revealing mistake: When Spencer Tracey backs his car into the hotrod at the ice cream stand, you can see the hotrod already has a sizable dent before the car makes contact, probably a result of a previous take.
Matt Drayton: When I had ice cream before, I had a special kind of flavor that I liked very much but I can't remember what it was.
Carhop: I'll bring you the list, sir.
Matt Drayton: Oh no. You - you must know what it is.
Carhop: Daquiri Ice, Honeycomb Candy, Cocoa, Coconut, Jamocha Almond Fudge, Mocha Jamocha, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Cinnamon, Banana Mint.
Matt Drayton: Must've been some other place.
Trivia: The movie makers got Poiter to sign on after telling him that Spencer and Katharine were going to be in the film. They in fact had not signed on at that point.
