Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, when George Peppard is talking to Audrey Hepburn in the alley and it's raining heavily, his hair switches between being combed back and combed to the side. Very obvious - this takes place several times.

Splendor in the Grass picture

Continuity mistake: During the scene, when Natalie Wood goes with Toots to make-out point after the dance and jumps in the water, it's supposed to be late at night. When they cut back and forth between shots at the waterfalls and Warren Beatty waiting for Natalie on her porch, all the scenes at the falls were shot in broad daylight, while the ones of Warren on the porch are at night.
