Blame It on the Bellboy

Continuity mistake: Lawton and his designated victim are looking at the cops fishing out of the corpse. From the aerial view we see Horton and Wright passing by in a gondola. Between two shots Richard Griffiths says "Absolutely...beautiful." There's a jump in continuity: Patsy Kensit's arm position changes, and the corpse that was just being pulled aboard now lies on the deck. (00:30:35)

Continuity mistake: Horton is upstairs at the villa with Miss Wright. She sits on the bed, and the documents bag is facing up with the metallic buckle showing. In the frontal views of the bed though, the bag is upside down. (00:22:00)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Maurice Horton is dining on the terrace while the bellboy "envelops him", as he puts it. In the close-up of the content, Richard Griffiths 's fingers hold the card by the top left corner. In the previous and following shots though, his hands are at the middle of the card and, even more importantly, there's a flyer behind it that is missing in the close-up. (00:09:25)
