The Out of Towners

Visible crew/equipment: In the shot in central park a microphone from the crew appears in the top right hand corner of the screen as the couple are walking along. Spotted in a video version of the film.

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end, after having been kicked out of the church, George walks out into the street and goes into a tirade. Meanwhile, In the background to the left, a crew member with sunglasses is visible standing in the street, obviously to direct the extras on the sidewalk. He tries to move out of the scene while communicating with someone off camera, then motions for the extras to cross the street, after which two ladies, who had been standing waiting for the signal, immediately start walking.

Continuity mistake: When Jack Lemmon and his wife Sandy Dennis are driving in their car on the way to the airport, you see a very different scene out of their rear window than you see when they show the outside of their car.
