Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie Salvatore's mother complains bitterly that she hasn't heard from him in 30 years, but she has a recent passport picture of him sticking in the frame of class photo. (01:39:45)

Continuity mistake: When Salvatore is waiting night after night under his beloved's window he ticks off a 1954 calendar, but some time before that we saw adolescent movie aficionados masturbate over Brigitte Bardot in "Et Dieu... créa la femme", which was released in 1956. (00:59:10 - 01:19:25)

Continuity mistake: The scars in Alfredo's face are sometimes smoother, sometimes more pronounced. (01:00:55)

Continuity mistake: When Toto comes running to the cinema to help Alfredo he stumbles and falls flat on his belly. It cuts to a close-up when he gets up, and now he is lying on his back. (00:50:40)

Continuity mistake: When the fire starts in the projector room Alfredo is standing in a heap of burning celluloid and his pants catch fire. Then the projector explodes knocking him unconscious. However, when Toto comes to rescue him Alfredo is lying on the floor, not burning anywhere and the fire not anywhere near him. (00:50:55)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Alfredo projects the movie through the window on the facade on the far side of the piazza, the picture could not be as well-focused as we see it. Besides, there would not be a picture on the theater screen (at best a very faint one), resulting in a mayhem in the audience. (00:46:50)

Continuity mistake: During the exam the ink stain on Alfredo's cheek disappears and reappears. (00:37:20)

Continuity mistake: When Alfredo tries to cheat during the exam the two supervisors in the background keep switching positions. (00:36:25)

Other mistake: There's a chime hanging outside Salvatore's bedroom window that's too far away to cast such a small shadow over his face when he lies in bed and thinks of his childhood. (00:05:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, when Salvatore's mother tries once again to call him, the arrangement of lemons in the bowl changes. (00:03:05)
