Cleopatra (1963)

Continuity mistake: Mark Antony walks in the site where Cleopatra's tomb is being built. He wears a soldier's uniform and she a red gown, purple robe and a short wig. She walks five steps forward and suddenly they're in a completely different place: both in her bedroom, she wearing now a dreadlock wig, white dress and transparent robe, while he is resting on a couch dressed in red civilian clothes. She walks offscreen and a shot later she has yet another wig, another dress, different belt and black robe.

Suggested correction: It creatively shows how long their ongoing passionate argument continues through the day, with changes in the time of day, location, and attire; done with three separate, consecutive scenes, signifying time jump transitions. First, it's daytime when Mark Antony joins Cleopatra at her tomb's construction; they argue, and she walks away. With the next transition, it's later in the day; they still argue in a different location and attire, then she walks away. The last transition is another jump in time; it's evening, with Cleopatra now in her nighttime attire, as their argument has been going strong all day.

Never thought of it that way, but it sure sounds cool.
