Candlestick telephones and others of similar vintage are repeatedly shown ringing (and Christine is shown using two different models of telephone in her house when it would have been unlikely that she would have had more than one). Telephones of this period did not contain ringers. Rather, the ringer was inside a large box which was usually attached to the wall behind the telephone. Such a box is not seen in any shot during which a telephone is shown ringing. [Though the "ringing box" wasn't shown on screen doesn't mean it wasn't there. And since she was working for a phonecompany it is preceivable that she had acces to more phones, both in number as model.]

In the shot showing the prison Alcatraz, when Joline goes back to get a confession from the killer of her son, the clip of Alcatraz shows a satellite dish on top of the prison tower. There were no satellite dishes in the 1930s, let alone any satellites. [There's two things to this entry: 1. It was San Quentin 2. What I think the poster believes is a satelite dish is a radio antenna. Recent pictures of San Quentin don't show any satelite dish.]

Reverend Briegleb broadcasts a radio show from the pulpit. Shots alternate between him speaking in the church and the transmission being heard on the radio, suggesting it is a live programme and therefore not being edited. In the shots in the church, there is substantial echo. When we hear the transmission on the radio, there is no echo to be heard. [Which is exactly what happens in real life. The microphone at the pulpit picks up his voice directly, from a short distance, and broadcasts it immediately to the airwaves. Because of the acoustics in the church, the live audience could hear an echo that is not heard on the broadcast, since they have a large open reverberating space to try to hear his voice.]
