Continuity mistake: Right after Sanderson hands Kemp the itinerary for the next day's events, Sanderson places a pen and a glass ashtray directly on top of the folder lying on the table in front of him. In the next shot, the ashtray is covering only a small portion of the corner of the folder, and the pen is lying beside it.
