Continuity: While Felicia (Lee Grant) is in bed talking to George (Warren Beatty), who's getting dressed, she's holding a cigarette that goes from her right hand to her left hand between shots, but she didn't switch it.
Continuity: Every time the refrigerator is shown at Jill's, from the first shot when George takes an apple, to the last shot when he puts toast in the toaster, the magnets on the door change positions.
Continuity: When Jill breathes into the paper bag, she and George walk by the kitchen and we see the objects on the counter. Then when George goes back into the kitchen, some of these things have changed their position, yet no one touched them.
Audio problem: When George starts to chase Jill he has a huge mouthful of apple, but in the next two shots he's cackling and smiling, with there being no time for him to have chewed and swallowed. Also, although he cackles when he runs, his lips do not move at all, as it was obviously dubbed later.
Continuity: When George chases Jill, she tosses the paper bag as she gets up and runs into the hallway, but in the next shot not yet in the hallway she tosses the paper bag near the doorway. Also, when George stands up the plants are seen on the right, but later when Jill walks by, the plants are positioned differently.
Continuity: When George is goofing around in bed with Jill, in the wide shot her arms are hugging him around his neck and his right arm is under hers, but in the next close-up his right arm is around her neck and her arm is now under his. The mail on the bed differs in the two shots too.
Continuity: While George is cooking in Jill's kitchen, when the camera is on Jill, George's reflection is seen behind her and when the camera is on George, sometimes his movements behind the counter are contradictory to his movements in the reflection.
Continuity: When George is trying to sleep while Jill talks, his blanket and her hair differ between the wide shot and the close-up.
Continuity: At the bank's parking lot on his motorcycle, George's tie is seen, and when George is in the bank, the tie is noticeably tied differently.
Continuity: When speaking with Mr. Pettis at the bank, the paper in George's hand disappears, and the paper and pen on the desk change positions between the different shots.
Continuity: As Jill sits in the producer's office, the eyeglasses case jumps on and off the papers on the desk repeatedly in the close-ups and wide shots.
Continuity: While Jill and Jackie (Julie Christie) are sitting in the restaurant, their hand positions differ between the shots facing Jill and the ones facing Jackie.
Continuity: George's collar on his leather jacket is sometimes up, down or somewhere in between, in successive shots within a particular scene, depending on the camera angle. Additionally, his long neck scarf changes position numerous times, in shots following one another within the same scene too. One example is in the salon with Felicia and Jill.
Continuity: While George and Norman are arguing, the towel in George's right hand changes position from the side shot to the front shot.
Audio problem: While George is in Lester's office, we hear the secretary saying something, but her mouth does not move as she lifts her head.
Audio problem: When Lester (Jack Warden) comes downstairs, his daughter Lorna (Carrie Fisher) is talking on the telephone. We hear what she says, but she is not saying those words.
Continuity: When Felicia and Lester are in the dining room, in the wide shot she places the mirror down, but in the close-up the mirror's position has changed.
Continuity: When George arrives at Jackie's, he has the hair dryer in his belt and he then walks up the stairs to her door. The electrical cord is wound around the dryer differently in these shots.
Continuity: Felicia asks Mona to find the lost earring, and the flowers that Mona holds in the first wide shot and the next close-up change their appearance.
