Visible crew/equipment: In the fainting scene you can see in the background on the roofs and in the windows a number of people just watching the shooting being done on the back lot. It is very noticeable in the last wide pull back shot.
Bye Bye Birdie (1963)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: George Sidney
Starring: Ann-Margret, Janet Leigh, Maureen Stapleton, Dick Van Dyke
Factual error: After Albert feeds the pill to the turtle, you see a close up of its eyes, which are blue. Turtles only have either brown or red eyes, not blue.
Harry McAfee: The next time I have a daughter, I hope it's a boy.
Trivia: Maureen Stapleton plays Dick Van Dyke's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only six months older than him.
