????

Continuity mistake: The phone rings while Rosemary straightens up the living room. Guy answers it and after the conversation they both go back into living room.

(00:35:05)

????

Audio problem: As they walk together, Rosemary has a talk with Hutch about Guy's new part and she says, "suddenly he's hot" but it comes out as "suddenly he's hopt". The close captioning also reads "hot". (00:35:35)

????

Factual error: The story is supposed to take place from 1965 until the baby's birth in June,1966. Yet, before Rosemary is even pregnant, there is a 1967 Chevrolet taxicab sitting at the curb. (00:36:10)
