My Fair Lady (1964)

Continuity mistake: When the "Loverly" song is about to start a man in a cart says to take the hats off. In the wide angles he is leaning on the cart, but in the close-ups he is grabbing a bag. This changes back and forth.

My Fair Lady (1964)

Continuity mistake: The movie starts and people rush under a heavy rain. A group walks by the fruit stalls, and a sellers bumps into them and walks towards the camera. A frame later there's a quick cut and, though the angle remains the same, the people have vanished and been replaced by different actors, plus the seller has turned around and is walking away from the camera. Really odd. (00:04:35)
