Visible crew/equipment: After JD tells Schatze that Tom came to the wedding and he isn't wearing a tie, just as Schatze says, "Who does he think he is anyway, crashing my wedding," we can see the shadow of the boom mic drop into view on the wall, at the left side of the screen. (01:27:55)
How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
Directed by: Jean Negulesco
Starring: Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, David Wayne, Betty Grable
Continuity mistake: While Schatze's getting ready for her wedding, when Pola comes in she tries on the fur stole and instead of putting the fur stole back on the bed it slips onto the floor, but when Loco walks in with Eben the fur stole is lying on the bed beside the fur coat, though it wasn't touched. Pola's fur wrap near the flowers has also moved. (01:21:55)
Other mistake: When Tom calls Schatze the first time and mentions seeing her ads in magazines, in the following shots while Schatze's on the phone and particularly while she's talking to Pola, we see the milk carton on the table which has tape all the way around it covering its brand name on both sides. (00:19:35)
Trivia: When Waldo and Loco (Betty Grable) are at the lodge, Loco says the music playing on the radio is Harry James. Waldo asks how she knows that, and she says she just knows that it's him. This is a movie in-joke because at that time, Grable was married to Harry James, the famous bandleader, in real life.
Loco Dempsey: You don't think he's a little old?
Schatze Page: Wealthy men are never old.
Schatze Page: The first rule is, gentlemen callers have got to wear a necktie.
Loco Dempsey: I'll say this for him: we haven't ordered anything yet under five dollars a portion.
Pola Debevoise: If there's anything left over don't forget to tell the waiter you want to take it home for the dog.
