Rosemary's Baby

Continuity mistake: Minnie gives her the necklace with the tannis root inside and Rosemary holds the chain between her thumb and first two fingers. In the next shot the chain is draped over her fingers. (00:32:15)

????

Continuity mistake: Rosemary tries a third time to figure out the anagram with the Scrabble letters and comes up with "elf shot lame witch". She tries a fourth time and comes up with "how his hell fact me". She decides to give up and begins putting the letters away when she has an idea and pulls the book close to her and we see the wrong set of letters back on the floor "elf shot lame witch". (01:29:10)

Continuity mistake: Rosemary quick fries half a piece of steak but by the time it gets from the frying pan into her plate it's a different piece without the chunk of fat attached to the side. (01:01:15)

Continuity mistake: When Rosemary has decided to sneak over to the Castevet's, she removes the towels from the closet shelves. She then tries to shut the door by pushing the towels (on the floor) into the closet. We see that the closet door does NOT shut all the way. Rosemary goes to get a knife, when she gets back to the closet, the door is completely shut, and she must now turn the knob to open it. (02:06:45 - 02:07:35)

Continuity mistake: Rosemary opens her suitcase and hands a red book to the doctor. If you look closely, the dress she's wearing has sleeves and is a different one then the previous shot, which is sleeveless. (01:47:45)

????

Character mistake: After Rosemary has the baby and they tell her it died, she calls them liars. They give her an injection and she passes out. When Guy comes back, he says that the Doctor says she was suffering from prepartum (not an actual word) symptoms. It would actually be postpartum.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Actually, it depends on which time her 'crazies' were from. If Guy was referring to how she acted while still pregnant, then pre-partum would be correct. If referring to her tantrums after the birth, then it would be post-partum.

The post starts. " After Rosemary has the baby...".

Continuity mistake: In Doctor Hill's office Rosemary opens her suitcase and hands the red book to the doctor. When she first takes the book out of her suitcase she has a wrist watch on her left hand, then in the next shot as she hands it to him there's no wrist watch. (01:47:50)

Continuity mistake: The morning after the birth Rosemary wakes up and startles Laura-Louise, and the face of the clock behind the bed is lit up. In the next shot as she looks at it's not lit up. It's also ticking yet the second hand doesn't move. (01:59:25)

Visible crew/equipment: As he shows them the kitchen the building manager says, "I'd be grateful to go that way myself when the time comes". As he turns around to leave the kitchen you can see the shadow of the camera on his jacket. (00:03:55)

Continuity mistake: Guy and Dr. Sapirstein escort Rosemary out of Dr. Hill's office into a car waiting to take her back to The Bramford and a blue and white taxi is right next to the car. In the next shot two yellow taxi cabs are there. (01:53:10)

????

Continuity mistake: After Rosemary speaks to Dr. Sapirstein's receptionist about an appointment she sits down in the waiting room and the receptionist asks her how hot it is outside. She doesn't move yet several things move behind the receptionist's head in the two shots she's in. The ash trays above the windowed file cabinet behind her move from the right side to the left side and the two small file cabinets above the large file cabinet to her right also move. (01:40:10)

Visible crew/equipment: As the Castevet's leave for the airport, Rosemary and Guy say goodbye to Minnie and Roman in front of The Dakota. As the cab pulls in front of them you can see the reflection of the cameraman and studio lights from across the street in it. (01:34:55)

Continuity mistake: When the taxi cab pulls out taking Minnie and Roman to the airport there's a red car in front of them. The next time we see the cab a few seconds later there's a white car in front of them. (01:35:35)

Continuity mistake: After telling Guy that she doesn't want Minnie or Roman setting foot in their apartment again Rosemary sits down in their living room and reads from the book "All Of Them Witches".

Continuity mistake: Guy follows Rosemary into the kitchen where she shows him the book Hutch gave her, "All Of Them Witches". If you look at the calendar at the right of the shot it's obvious someone other than them has been looking at it as the top month is curled up the second time we see it. (01:31:25)

????

Continuity mistake: Rosemary and Guy walk back into the kitchen as she shows him the book Hutch gave her and if you look out the kitchen window it's an entirely different time of day then it was a minute ago as they walked out of the kitchen.
