Deliberate mistake: During the song Adelaide's Lament, Adelaide goes to her medicine cabinet, opens it, and there is a cut to a shot from "inside" the cabinet as she surveys all the medicine she takes to treat her "cold." From the inside, the cabinet is almost twice as wide as it is when it shows her open and later close it from the outside.
Guys and Dolls (1955)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring: Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Jean Simmons, Vivian Blaine
Continuity mistake: Adelaide performs her first number and finds Nathan in her dressing room. There is a pink robe draped over the partition. Placement of this robe changes during the scene without being touched. (00:49:45 - 00:50:30)
Big Jule: Well, I used to be bad when I was a kid, but ever since then I've gone straight, as has been proved by my record: Thirty-three arrests and no convictions.
Trivia: Nathan was added into Nicely and Benny's number 'Guys and Dolls' to increase Sinatra's singing part.
