Continuity mistake: When Daffy begins reading "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" at the start of the cartoon, you can see that the script is by the wall. Later on, both Daffy and the script are in front of J.L.'s desk, and a few shots later they are near the wall again.
The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950)
Directed by: Chuck Jones
Starring: Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderet
Continuity mistake: When Daffy Duck is changing into the Scarlet Pumpernickel at the inn, you can see there is a stand with a hand on it behind the screen where he is changing, but when Daffy jumps out from the screen after he has finished, the stand is now in the corner.
Continuity mistake: When the Scarlet Pumpernickel (Daffy) takes a box outside his pocket when he arrives at the church, you can see that there is nothing on the box and he puts his hand on the box to open it. But when we see the box in the next shot, it now has "Ye Olde Olympic High Jumper" on it and the Scarlet Pumpernickel's hand is no longer on the box.
Trivia: Mel Blanc, not Arthur Q. Bryan, voices Elmer Fudd's brief appearance.
Sylvester: First, I am happy, for I am to marry the fair Melissa. Then, I am furious, because I despise the Scarlet P-P-Pumpernickel.
Daffy Duck: The Lord High Chamberlain was simply furious.
Porky Pig: I'm s-s-s-s-simply furious.
Daffy Duck: But Milady Melissa was simply delighted.
The Fair Melissa: I'm simply delighted.
