Continuity mistake: At the end of the song "Just An Ordinary Man," Rex Harrison races around the room switching on several separate phonograph players (which are all mechanical devices), producing a dissonant, squabbling ruckus. But, a moment later, as he utters the last line of the song, "I shall never let a woman in my life," he switches off the one phonograph nearest to him, and ALL the mechanical phonographs in the room stop playing instantly.

Visible crew/equipment: When Eliza arrives at Higgings' place the shadow of the boom mic is right on top of her when the door is opened.
Continuity mistake: During the ascot race, Freddy is to Eliza's left. After the horses go by, everyone is laughing at what Eliza says, pics of surrounding people flash, and Freddy is on her right.
Continuity mistake: When Higgins scares Eliza to force her into being her pupil she is either standing in front of a barometer or next to it. (00:43:10)
Answer: Higgins is eccentric and a bit anti-social. He does not always follow social norms and protocol. He somewhat enjoys upsetting his snobbish peers, as well as his mother. He's also highly focused in the moment on passing off Eliza as a high-society lady.
