Suggested correction: Can you? You can see his shadow for sure, but I don't see her shadow cast on anything. I was looking for this mistake on Prime - I added the timecode for the scene too (41:25) in case someone wants to check out and maybe submit a screenshot, too - but I personally can't see it.

Factual error: The VW Bug that the belfry falls on is a later model than 1965 when the movie is set. The larger tail light with yellow on the lens seen on the VW in the movie didn't come along until 1968. The one in the movie may even be of early 70's vintage.
