Continuity mistake: At dinner with Hutch, Rosemary sits at her place at the table and we see a plate on the bookshelf behind her. The plate is on the bottom left shelf, close to the center, but later in the scene as they are eating the plate has moved about six inches to the left. The books on the right side of the bookshelf are also rearranged throughout this scene. (00:07:25)

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Continuity mistake: Roman walks back to the bar after he spills the vodka blush on the carpet. There's a typewriter on a movable desk, to right of his easy chair, that has been moved since Rosemary and Guy walked into the apartment. The tip-off is the design on the carpet underneath the easy chair. (00:25:25)

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Audio problem: Guy flushes the toilet as he walks through the bathroom. The toilet is actually empty and the sound is an over-dub because there is no resistance on the handle when he pushes it down. Had an old toilet like that actually been full you would see the resistance in the lever as the flapper inside rises. (00:04:45)
