Continuity mistake: In the first scene when Cathy picks up Janice from the ballet class the sun is shining on the car when they enter. When she pulls out the car is in the shade. (00:02:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Cathy talks to Sybil and the kids when she gets home after picking up Janice the leaf shadows on the car keep changing or disappear completely for some shots. It's similar in the scene where Cathy talks to Eleanor about homosexuality. (00:02:45 - 00:30:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Frank leaves the movie theater and looks after a man who goes up some stairs he suddenly wears his coat he was holding over his arm. (00:15:05)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: Raymond mentions his shop 'down on Hawthorn' to Cathy. The German subtitles translate into 'down in Hawthorn', as if Hawthorn were a different town. (00:21:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Frank has the appointment with Dr. Bowman Cathy's hat has a pin with a pearl in all shots in Dr. Bowman's office, but no pin in all other shots before and after. (00:28:00 - 00:30:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During Frank's appointment with Dr. Bowman there's a sculpture with an arrow on the desk in all shots on the doctor, but the sculpture isn't there when we see Frank. (00:29:15)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Frank and Cathy talk about his homosexuality he says "I know it's a sickness". The German subtitles read "Schwäche" ("weakness") which is not just a bad but a wrong translation considering the perception of homosexuality in the fifties. (00:29:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the for a change complete Whitaker family is having dinner, David's right hand alternates between on the table, holding his glass of milk, and lying in his lap. (00:34:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the art exhibition Cathy spots Raymond explaining a painting to his daughter. She joins them, but now they are standing in front of a different painting, and the earlier one is nowhere to be seen. (00:37:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Cathy meets Raymond to say good-bye the time is reversed: When Raymond receives her call at his shop it's almost dark. When we see her walking up to the diner where he is waiting it's quite a bit brighter, and finally, when they talk in the street, the man who shouts at him to take his hands off her is standing in the sun. (01:06:40 - 01:08:55)

NancyFelix

Plot hole: The boys who chase Sarah pick up large stones from a carefully tended lawn, and they find them between the leaves without a bit of searching around. (01:15:45)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Sarah is hit on the head by a stone she's not bleeding, and the injury looks rather dried-up. (01:16:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the train with Raymond leaves the station there's a strange change of light: First the platform lights are on although it's only 4.30 p.m. and it looks quite bright when Cathy arrives at the station. They illuminate the platform brightly throughout almost the whole scene, but in the last shot on Cathy the lights are dimmed and the platform is totally dark. (01:37:05)
