And Then There Were None picture

Continuity mistake: Blore, Lombard and Armstrong get out of the house to check on the knocking noise. As they stare at the door of the shed that keeps slamming in the wind, their reciprocal distance greatly varies; they are closely together, then Armstrong is at distance - to allow the camera to get a better shot -, then he is touching shoulders with Lombard. (00:52:30)

Dick Tracy picture

Continuity mistake: After the scene with Junior that busted him as the night kitchen raider, Dick is in his office. Pat Patton tells him about his findings going through the victim's belongings. He leans forward with his left arm, and Dick at the same time pulls his own arm back away from the desk. Next cut and Dick has both hands on the desk and Pat just his right arm on it. (00:12:35)
