Continuity mistake: Milly is on the balcony with Mr. Hanson. The sliding glass doors behind them are not fully open and the drapes are drawn well past the door opening. When Mr. Hanson stands up, the camera cuts for a closer shot and the sliding glass door is now fully open and the drape is drawn to the door opening. (00:56:00)
Autumn Leaves (1956)
Directed by: Robert Aldrich
Starring: Cliff Robertson, Joan Crawford, Vera Miles, Lorne Greene
Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: During Virginia's visit, when Milly walks over to a chair we see on the coffee table a couple of magazines with an ashtray on top. The top magazine is white on the end closest to Milly and the spine is facing the camera. As soon as Milly sits down the camera cuts and the top magazine now is dark on the end closest to Milly and the spine is facing away from the camera. (It appears the top magazine was rotated 180° between shots.) After Virginia has handed the envelope to Milly, the camera cuts away and the top magazine has returned to its original position (white end closest to Milly and spine facing camera). (00:50:00)
Continuity mistake: When Milly goes to the door there is no light shining in through the door. After she invites Virginia in and closes the door light is shining in through the door onto the wall beside the door. (00:47:55)
Liz Eckhart: Nobody can help you now.
Milly: Why can't they? When do I get my turn? Everybody needs help don't they? I need help too. Maybe I don't want to find out how he feels.
Liz Eckhart: Being in love is never easy, and the more in love you are, the less easy and more lonesome it gets.
Burt: Aw, Milly. You wouldn't want me to spend the rest of my life with a bubble-gum addict. Would you, Milly?
Milly: Sorry, I goofed.
Burt: You "goofed?" Hey, man, that's "Bop" talk! Where did you ever pick that up?
Milly: Well, why shouldn't I pick up an expression here and there? I'm not that old.
Milly: The only trouble is that the future comes so much sooner than it used to.
