Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the movie, as the couple are driving to the airport, they pass two cars, which are parked together along the side of the road. The drivers are both standing beside their cars and obviously observing and taking pictures of the action / actors as they pass by.

1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Arthur Hiller
Starring: Jack Lemmon, Sandy Baron, Sandy Dennis, Anne Meara
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: After just missing the first train, and then finding out that they may be able to take a taxi to catch it further down the line, George runs back into the terminal to find Gwen, who had gone to the ladies' room. As he's asking the cleaning woman where the ladies' room is, there is a woman visible in the background, putting on her coat and starting to walk away from the rest room. In the same shot, George runs to the ladies' room to retrieve Gwen and actually passes the woman as she is walking toward the camera. In the next shot, as George reaches the ladies' room door, the woman is back where she started from, and is again putting on her coat.
Gwen Kellerman: George, I can't walk and you can't carry me. And there are no buses, or taxis, and no car is going to stop to pick up bleeding strangers.
George Kellerman: It's not safe in the park at night.
Gwen Kellerman: We have already been robbed and kidnapped. We have nothing to lose but four cents. Please, George.
George Kellerman: Suppose it rains again?
Gwen Kellerman: I am so wet now, it can only make me drier.
