Trivia: The film's plot is partially based on real-life Hollywood actress Gene Tierney. In 1943, while volunteering at the Hollywood Canteen, Tierney contracted rubella (German measles) while pregnant. An infected fan had sneaked out of quarantine to see the actress, unintentionally giving her the disease. Tierney's daughter was born with severe disabilities, including deafness, partial blindness, and developmental delays. This affected Tierney's later mental health struggles.

Continuity mistake: When the Beatles are recording on the Salisbury Plain while being protected by the military, George is singing "I Need You." His lips never match the overdubbed recording and sometimes are not moving at all. Also, the electric guitars that George, John, and Paul are playing have no cords attached. There were no cordless electric guitars at that time.

Character mistake: Just after Bond and Fiona were in bed together, Bond says what he did (have sex with her) was for 'King and Country.' He should have said 'Queen and Country' as Queen Elizabeth II had been on the throne for well over a decade at the time.

Revealing mistake: When Libby is escaping Travis at the art gallery, she backs her truck into his empty rental car that is blocking her, slamming it out of the way. She then rams into it with the front end, hitting it broadside, toppling it. As she takes off, she swerves and smashes a curbside phone box, knocking it over before driving off. After all this, her truck shows virtually no damage to the front or the back, not even a broken headlight or taillight.

Murder, a Self Portrait - S9-E1

Character mistake: When Columbo asks Barsini about one particular artist paintbrush, Barsini says it is a fluffy red sable brush. It's actually one made from pig bristle. Natural sable brushes are soft red fur, while pig bristles are flatter, stiffer and a light beige color. There's no mistaking the two, and any experienced artist knows the difference.

Of Ice and Men - S5-E11

Revealing mistake: Roseanne brings a heating pad for Dan's sore derriere after he plays hockey with D.J. After placing the pad under him, she turns it on, but it's not plugged in to anything, there's no extension cord, and an electrical outlet is some feet away.

Revealing mistake: During Sebastian's aerial act where he performs without a safety net, he misses the trapeze bar and falls. It's obvious that he lands on a recessed safety air cushion disguised to look like solid ground. It deflates slightly just as he hits it, and the shot quickly cuts away.

Promises, Promises - S5-E22

Character mistake: Roseanne, trying to encourage Darlene to attend the high school prom with David, says that she'd like to see at least one of her daughters in a prom dress. However, daughter Becky attended many proms and dances wearing a formal or semi-formal dress.

Continuity mistake: Just after Millie arrives at the Pontipee farm for the first time, Adam pushes the closed cabin door open to take her inside. The shot cuts to an interior view, and Adam is opening the now completely shut door before walking in.

Revealing mistake: When D'Artagnan and Rochefort are sword fighting on the frozen pond, both fall through the ice in separate places. As each one flails about in the water, it's obvious that the broken ice pieces are Styrofoam. It also appears that what is supposed to be snow covering the ice is ground up Styrofoam, too chunky to be real snow.

Continuity mistake: Adrian and Le Borg are flying on a modern-day commercial jet. Just after the explosion, there's a quick aerial shot of the plane plunging from the sky. However, the airplane in the scene is definitely not a jet, as seen by the shape of the wings. This appears to be stock WWII film footage of a military fighter plane that was shot down.

No Time to Die - S11-E2

Continuity mistake: Columbo wears a tuxedo the entire episode. Hours after his nephew's wedding ceremony, when Columbo's at the police station investigating the bride's abduction, his bow tie is hanging loosely around his neck. Shortly after, as he and the other detectives rush to the photography studio, the bow is now properly tied. This situation was too dire to bother redoing it, nor does Columbo ever worry about his appearance.
