Other mistake: When the phone pole was installed with a "butt set" to talk with, they used it upside down for a long time. Someone must have brought it to the director, because they finally corrected the problem.

Other mistake: In the opening sequence Oliver stops the tractor in front of the house by pulling a lever. This lever is not a brake but is to engage a wheel to put a belt around to operate a threshing machine.

Suggested correction: The lever is to engage and disengage the clutch, when he pulls it back that disengages and the tractor would stop.

Older tractors had a hand clutch like that.

Factual error: In a flashback scene, Oliver is hanging from a tree after getting shot down in WWII. They ask him where he is from, and he says the US Air Force. The US Air Force wasn't formed till 1947. During WWII, it was the Air Corps.
