Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Continuity mistake: Guy follows Rosemary into the kitchen where she shows him the book Hutch gave her, "All Of Them Witches". If you look at the calendar at the right of the shot it's obvious someone other than them has been looking at it as the top month is curled up the second time we see it. (01:31:25)

They both walk into the kitchen and the book "All Of Them Witches" is sitting on the kitchen table.

(01:30:55)
2nd Feb 2007
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary and Guy walk back into the kitchen as she shows him the book Hutch gave her and if you look out the kitchen window it's an entirely different time of day then it was a minute ago as they walked out of the kitchen.

She tries a fourth time and comes up with "how his hell fact me".

Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary takes out the Scrabble game again to try to figure out what the anagram that Hutch warns her about means.

2nd Feb 2007
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary takes out a Scrabble game from the book shelf to try to figure out what the anagram means. If you look at the lamp in the center of the shot you'll notice that it's behind the chess set on the table. No one goes near it but later in the scene the lamp has been moved to the right of the chess set. (01:28:25 - 01:29:40)
