The World Was His Jury picture

Revealing mistake: When a yellow cab pulls up to the curb, it is obvious that the street is part of a studio backlot and not a real city street because the businesses have no names. The sign outside one building says simply "Tobacco." The diner has only the word "Restaurant" painted on its windows. Another business has no identification other than "Fish and Poultry" painted on its window.

The Haunted Strangler picture

Factual error: The film begins in 1860, but the majority takes place 20 years later, so 1880. When James Rankin obtains files on the Haymarket Strangler/Edward Styles case we are shown another box labelled with details about Jack the Ripper, who wasn't active until 1888.

Home Before Dark picture

Plot hole: Jean Simmons is supposed to actually be correct about her husband being in love with his sister in law, and not insane. When she enters the nightclub acting weird, in a dress too large for her and hanging off her, exposing her brassiere, she is completely out of character. She is not drugged at this point, as she stopped drinking the paraldehyde before this.

The Bravados picture

Other mistake: Outlaws are chased by a mounted posse. One outlaw up on a hill shoots two of the posse members from long distance. Next shot, the two injured posse members are lying on stretchers and the chief deputy orders someone to go back to town and get a wagon. The stretchers were canvas, wooden handled, military style. Where did they come from?
