Postcards From the Edge

Continuity mistake: When Shirley Maclane is in the hospital after her car accident Meryl Streep puts make-up on her. She applies blush to the left cheek, then the shot switches and she applies to the right side, then the shot switches again and she is working on the left side again.

Continuity mistake: When Shirley MacLaine is driving Meryl Streep home from the rehab clinic and they are pulling into the driveway, the head-on shot shows Shirley wearing sunglasses. The next cut we see Shirley in the rear-view mirror and there are no sunglasses.

Continuity mistake: When Meryl Streep wakes up in the hospital, she is being asked questions by an appointed psychiatrist. The psychiatrist's hands move from down on her writing pad to up by her face every time it switches from front to back view. (Notice the left side of her face, fingers and pen visible).
