Continuity mistake: The books above their head board have been rearranged from the time before the rape to the next morning when Rosemary wakes up. Normally the books might have been look at in that period of time but on this night there was definitely no reading done. (00:49:00)
Deliberate mistake: As Rosemary is prepared to be raped by the devil she is lying on white sheets. In the next shot as she is being raped she's on black satin sheets. (00:47:30)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary and Guy walk into The Dakota and from the overhead shot we see the guard standing on the curb to left of the entrance. In the next shot of them inside the entranceway the guard is now inside the tunnel with them. (00:02:00)
Factual error: Rosemary calls Dr. Hill from a pay phone and says, "The baby's due on Tuesday, you remember you told me June 28th" (and June 28th 1966 does fall on a Tuesday). In the previous scene in Dr. Sapirstein's office his receptionist is making an appointment "next week" for a patient and that date is "July 10th" indicating that if Rosemary is due on June 28th (which she says is next Tuesday) the dates do not match and it must still be the week of June 20th which is at least two weeks before July 10th. (01:44:45)
Visible crew/equipment: Rosemary walks into the party in the Castevet's apartment where she first sees the baby and you can see the shadows of a ton of stage lights and equipment on her shoulders. (02:08:40)
Continuity mistake: Before she enters their apartment and sees her baby, Rosemary walks back to the closet that connects her apartment with the Castevet's and as she opens the door we see yellow linens on the top shelf. Several shots before as she takes the shelves down these yellow linens fell on her head and were not put back on the shelf. (02:05:25 - 02:07:40)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary and Guy play Scrabble on a rainy day and if you look out their living room it's mid-day. Rosemary feels ill and walks into the bedroom and looking out the window we see that it's still raining but it's now night. (01:00:20)
Continuity mistake: After the birth, Dr. Sapirstein injects her twice with sedatives but when we see Rosemary's arm as she is recuperating there are no burses or marks that we can see where she received the shots. (02:00:45)
Continuity mistake: Minnie gives Rosemary a cup of Lipton's tea as she sits in a chair in front of a book case. We first saw these books when Rosemary sat down and they were all vertical, but then when she gets the cup of tea the books in both shelves are slanting to the left. (02:11:20 - 02:13:20)
Visible crew/equipment: Rosemary goes back to see Dr. Sapirstein and speaks to his receptionist. After she sits down they cut back to a close-up shot of the receptionist working and you can see the reflection of the camera man's head on the left of the glass file cabinet behind her. (01:40:05)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary gets back into the apartment and gets Elise Dunstan's phone number from the phone book inside her pocketbook. She leaves the pocketbook right next to the phone book but when Dr. Sapirstein comes in the with a sedative she tries get away across the bed and the pocketbook is no longer there. (01:55:55)
Revealing mistake: Rosemary crosses 5th Avenue as she goes looking for a bookstore to find more material on witches and a lot of bystanders can be seen staring at the film crew. (01:36:10)
Continuity mistake: In the scene after learning she was pregnant, Rosemary cooks herself a "blue" steak (barely seared on either side), yet when placed on the table, and she commences eating, the depth of heat penetration indicates "rare" - much more cooked than "blue". (00:59:00)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary tells Doctor Hill about Hutch and we get a chance to look at her wrist watch, which says 2:20. In the previous scene as she talks to Doctor Hill in the phone booth he tells her to meet him at his office at 8:00. (01:48:10)
Continuity mistake: In his office Dr. Hill tells Rosemary, "I don't believe in witchcraft" and in his close-up the clock and pictures of his kids below the diplomas move closer together between shots. (01:49:10)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Hill brings Rosemary into an examining room so she can rest, and closes the blinds before he leaves. As he walks out he shuts the light and in the next shot she lies down and the blinds are wide open again with light pouring in. (01:50:15)
Continuity mistake: The building manager lets them into the apartment and Rosemary and Guy stand in the hallway as he closes the door behind them. In the next shot Rosemary is already in the kitchen. (00:03:50)
Continuity mistake: As they are chasing her, Rosemary gets back into the apartment and looks up Elise Dunstan's phone number in her phone book. The last four digits of the phone number are 2012, but if you look at her as she's dialing, that's not the number she phones. (01:55:55)
Factual error: The story is supposed to take place from 1965 until the baby's birth in June,1966. Yet, before Rosemary is even pregnant, there is a 1967 Chevrolet taxicab sitting at the curb. (00:36:10)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary looks for her book "All Of Them Witches" and Guy replies, "Oh, I put it in the garbage" as she reaches around the bookcase. In the next shot she's touching a different book with her left hand. (01:35:50)
Chosen answer: Roman Castavet is trying to get Rosemary's attention, and she says "Be quiet, you're in Dubrovnik, I can't hear you". That was in reference to the fact that Roman and Minnie were supposed to have gone to Majorca or Dubrovnik after she found out that Roman was supposedly dying (which was just a lie Rosemary was told so she wouldn't suspect them when her baby was taken). Roman and Minnie got in a cab and pretended to go to the airport, but never left town.
