The Rogues' Tavern picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of the establishing continuous shot in the lobby, Bert leans against the desk and whines; "This is the kind of night that gives me the willies." The clerk rolls her eyes; she is holding a note between the two hands and you can see right before the cut that the note stays in her left as she lets go with the right.
