Other mistake: When Arthur's father takes his ball away (just before Richard Collier signs the register), Richard is looking the other way while Arthur's father puts the ball somewhere behind the counter. Yet, when Richard decides to give Arthur his ball back, he reaches over the counter to the exact place Arthur's father placed it even though Richard never saw where it was placed. (00:54:30 - 00:57:10)

Question: Is there a scene where a young boy watching the filming is seen? I heard this years ago and the clip was shown.
Answer: There are several things like this throughout the movie. It's a rather busy location.
