Mistakes

In the scene in Venice where Marge is leaving on the boat with Dickie's father, there is a shot from Tom's point of view looking out onto the water. In the distance a modern crane can be seen on the left - something that the director Mingella himself points out on the DVD commentary. See more...

The scooter Jude Law rides at the beginning (a Vespa), when he's first seen kissing another girl, is a modern version, which could never have been around in the 50s. [Dickie's Vespa is a 150GS first introduced in 1955 so it is completely possible to be in the time frame. ]

When the American inspector shows Tom the license plates found in Dickie's luggage (near the end of the movie), the larger plate has '2007' on the bottom. One of the numbers must be facing the wrong way, because no matter which way the plate is turned, either the 2 or the 7 is always upside down. [It is actually '4002', so it is the correct way round, and the same on both plates (except the 'EE' comes at the end on the small plate).]
