Corrected entry: When Robert Graysmith goes to Arthur Leigh Allen's work place The text on the screen reads "1983". The calendar in the shop behind Leigh shows the date "February 1980".

Correction: Not necessarily a mistake. I still have last year's calendar hanging in my kitchen. Some of us are just lazy.

Seems like an error to me. Being lazy to take down an old calendar is understandable, but the movie text states the date is December 1983 and the calendar is showing February 1980. Leaving an old calendar up for almost 4 years in public view seems unlikely, and suddenly stopping even using that calendar in February seems equally unlikely. I'm inclined to think that the scene was shot with all props in place, and date text for those final scenes was added towards the end of editing and the calendar was overlooked at that point.
