When Dixon pours drinks for himself and Mildred, he uncaps a bottle and pours into the glass. Between cuts, the bottle appears capped before he is seen recapping it. In the subsequent shots, he moves the same bottle from one place to another, and it appears first uncapped, then capped.
As Steele and Mildred walk through the gate of his apartment building, she has only her purse, hanging from her arm. When they enter the courtyard after passing through the gate, she is clutching both her purse and the book, tucked in the crook of her arm.
In Laurel's apartment, as Mel talks with her about Dixon, his right arm is by his side. In the next shot as he walks over towards the script on the table, his right hand is in his jacket pocket.
In the bar, whilst Dixon orders the drinks, Mel puts his right hand on his left one, resting on the counter. In the subsequent shot, he has his arms crossed.
When Dixon and Laurel are in his car leading up to when he side-swipes another car, his left hand side window is not up. After the accident, when the other driver walks up to confront him, his side window is up.
After leaving the beach and driving his convertible, although Dix is going 70 MPH, neither his nor Laurel's hair is moving, even a little.
When Dixon, Laurel, Charlie, and Mel are seated in the restaurant booth, the other restaurant patrons and the scenery behind Dixon and Laurel keeps constantly changing from cut to cut.
When Dixon is driving erratically with Laurel Gray, the footage of trees shown on the rear projection screen behind the car keeps repeating as if on a loop.
Both Dix and Mildred mispronounce the name of the title character of the book Mildred recounts to Dix, "Althea Bruce." She repeatedly calls the character "Alethea," adding an extra syllable, while he pronounces the name "AL-the-a." It should be "Al-THE-a."
How Laurel is able to afford a nice apartment and later, a plane ticket to New York without any means of support is never made clear.
