Visible crew/equipment: When the acrobatic witness lifts Adam in the air, you can see the wires that really lifted him up.
Adam's Rib (1949)
Directed by: George Cukor
Starring: Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Jean Hagen, David Wayne, Judy Holliday, Tom Ewell
Continuity mistake: During Adam's summation, the close up shots of Amanda show different reactions to his speech. The long shots show her just sitting there, not reacting. This goes back and forth several times.
Other mistake: When they're at home the first day of the trail, Katherine Hepburn (Amanda Bonner) is having some difficulty delivering her lines. The most noticeable is when she joins her co-star Spencer Tracy (Adam Bonner) on the couch and says "are you Pinky cranky?....cranky Pinky?"
Adam Bonner: No matter what you think you think, you think the same as I think.
Kip Lurie: Did I hear someone say "sing it again"?
Adam Bonner: No.
Amanda Bonner: Now, you look here, Kip. I'm fighting my prejudices, but it's clear that you're behaving like a, like a - well, I'd hate to put it this way - like a man.
Kip Lurie: You watch your language.
