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.
Revealing mistake: There is no glass in Spencer Tracy's eyeglasses.
Revealing mistake: When they leave the studio to get into the taxi, there are multiple onlookers in the shot watching the scene from across the street. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the film when Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn are in their bathroom talking, Spencer is in the process of shaving. At one point, you see his face covered with shaving cream. When it cuts to Katherine and then back to him, the shaving cream is spread differently on his face. When it cuts to her again and back, it is different again.
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.
