School for Scoundrels (1960)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Robert Hamer
Starring: Terry-Thomas, Janette Scott, Alastair Sim, Ian Carmichael
Genres: Comedy
Revealing mistake: Midway through when Ian Carmichael and his girlfriend are dining at a restaurant with Terry Thomas, they are talking and looking at the menu. The table is laid with cutlery and wine glasses - ready to eat. During their conversation there is a shot of Ian Carmichael only talking and smoking but there is no cutlery and the wine glasses have been replaced by a brandy snifter, obviously after the meal. The next shot shows the whole table with the correct pre-meal setting. When they have finished the meal, the table setting is as it was in the earlier shot.
