The Ipcress File (1965)

Corrected entry: The villain's Bentley is parked at the bottom of the steps from the Albert Hall, in front of a white Ford convertible - a Zephyr or Zodiac, quite a rare car even in those days. After Harry Palmer has a fight with the villain's sidekick, the Bentley speeds away, and we see the Ford still parked by the curb. Except now, it's dark blue.

Correction: Do you think they spraypainted the car while they shot the fight scene? There is easily enough time for the hite car to leave and the blue car to arrive during the very long fight scene.

Other mistake: In the Dr Radcliffe lecture scene, Harry removes his glasses to clean them revealing his poor eyesight. But in the final escape scenes when he determines and shoots the traitor, he is not wearing glasses.
