Trivia: The hotel chase and horse in the elevator scenes were actually filmed in two hotels in Los Angeles as opposed to Washington D.C. where the film was set. The building with the elevators is the Westin hotel near downtown, and the lobby chase was filmed at the now-demolished Ambassador on Wilshire.

Someone to Watch Over Me - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Dean is yelling at Dakota in front of the house, watch the lighting through this sequence. The sun is coming in, then it's gone, and back again. The amount of angle changes combined with the movement of the sun creates an almost flickering effect.

Suggested correction: I can see no shadow at any point in this scene. Could you provide a time stamp or screen capture? Besides, there is no spoken dialog or even any natural sound in the scene. Why would they be using a boom mike?

It's on the right, center side of the screen when the lady with the long flowing dress is further away and the shot cranes up. This is a musical number, Kelly is singing. They would still use a microphone.

Are you talking about the fantasy sequence between Kelley and Cyd Charisse? If you mean the faint shadow at 1:25:18, that is a shadow from the flowing cloth. And no, they would not be using a microphone. 1) There is no singing in that sequence. 2) In musicals at the time, all singing was pre-recorded and the actors lip-synced to a playback on stage.
