Clue

Revealing mistake: Just before the chandelier falls, Col. Mustard quite visibly flinches, even though, realistically, he would have no way of knowing that it was about to crash behind him.

Other mistake: Why on earth would six people from Washington, D.C. be summoned, at night, to a house in New England (as we learn from the opening)? That's a drive of between six and twelve hours depending on where in "New England" it was. Yet none of them remark on the very long drive, or mention staying in hotels, or talk about luggage, or have luggage, or complain about having to stay overnight.

Suggested correction: They are being summoned concerning the blackmail that is happening to them. They have no choice but to go. I don't think any of them were planning on staying the night at Hill House. They were there for dinner and the news about the blackmail. If they have luggage, it is most likely still in their cars.

Wadsworth: You see. It's just like the Mounties. We always get our man.
Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man?!

Trivia: Not a mistake, just a neat little fact. When the film was being shown at cinemas, only one ending was shown. Different venues had different endings.

Question: Was Mrs. White in love with Wadsworth? She seemed to be getting rather close to him in the beginning of the film (i.e., giving him a hanky when he's crying about his wife, playing with his tie and being flirtatious when he won't let her outside), but then seems to turn a 180 and not really like him. Why?

Answer: No, Mrs. White was not in love with Wadsworth. She may have been slightly physically attracted to him at the time of the "hanky incident", but it is more likely that she only felt sympathy for this poor man. As for the playing with the tie incident, she only did that so he would let her out.
