Visible crew/equipment: When Fred kisses Peggy, a boom mic is reflected in the left side of the car.

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
Directed by: William Wyler
Starring: Dana Andrews, Fredric March, Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright
Revealing mistake: When Fred Derry gets on the B-17 at the end of the movie to exercise his demons, the nose section of the plane noticeably moves when he gets on and gets off, showing it's a studio prop.
Factual error: Fred would not have been a captain without prior college education. He was previously a soda jerk and would have been enlisted.
Marie Derry: Say, who is this Peggy Stephenson?
Fred Derry: She's a girl.
Marie Derry: I didn't think she was a kangaroo.
Woody Merrill: All marriages don't have to be like that one.
Peggy Stephenson: Which one?
Woody Merrill: Your friends, Fred and Marie.
Peggy Stephenson: What's wrong with their marriage?
Woody Merrill: Nothing, except one slight detail, they just don't like each other.
Milly Stephenson: You're crazy.
Al Stephenson: No. Too sane for my own good.
