When in Rome picture

Continuity mistake: When Beth is chasing after a poker chip, she ditches her high heels to run faster, after passing by some statues. However, this is shown to happen in front of a car art piece. The art piece is above the statues, so she couldn't have ditched her pumps in the way shown in the film. You can even see her discarded heels in an aerial shot by the car, and above the statues. Most likely, they shot a scene where she kept her heels on while running, and another where she tossed them off, and combined it. (01:15:21 - 01:15:42)
