Continuity mistake: In this scene we see Jack Hawkins in his office talking to a soldier before Alec Guinness enters the office. In the background is a book shelf. On the top shelf there are four books to the left of the shelf which are standing side by side. Then there are several spaces then other books leaning against each other. After Alec Guinness has been briefed he leaves and we get another look at the book shelf. This time the top shelf has five books on the left and where the spaces were one book lies flat on it's side.
