Factual error: Pete Taylor's corpse is a bare skeleton after just two years in the sea-shack's attic, though it shouldn't be. There should at least be traces of hair and clothing surrounding the bones.

Continuity: At the end, Stella rips open the female impersonator's blouse, exposing his hairy chest. But in the following shots, the blouse is once again buttoned up tight.

Continuity: In the dining room, Mary places the telephone on the kitchen counter by reaching through the double doors over the bar. The doors, which she pulls shut, bounce back open slightly on their own. Mary then commits suicide. No one else has been there, but when Agatha returns to discover the body, the bar doors are tightly shut again.
