The Godfather

Visible crew/equipment: During the meeting between the Corleone family and Sollozzo to discuss drug dealing you can see a boom microphone reflected in the glass window when Don Corleone stands up to pour Sollozzo a drink, it can be seen moving around. A little later in the same scene when Don rejects Sollozzo's offer you can see a crew member reflected in the same set of window's moving around (above Sonny's head). (00:37:20 - 00:38:44)

Factual error: In the scene when Michael visits his father in the hospital in 1945 there's a NYC Fire Dept. Sign on the wall with the name of the Commissioner, Robert O. Lowery, who was commissioner from 1966 to 1973.
