Continuity mistake: The only letter that Alexander B. Cust really wrote himself is briefly shown when Poirot visits the office of the Twinkle Toes stocking company. The lowercase "R" is too high every time (meaning that the typewriter isn't perfect, a detail put in for realism). Yet all the close-ups of a typewriter progressing through the work on that letter, or any of the letters written on the same machine, show a perfectly aligned "r."
The ABC Murders (2018)
1 continuity mistake in show generally - chronological order
Starring: John Malkovich, Rupert Grint, Eamon Farren, Michael Shaeffer
Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Other mistake: After the arrest of "ABC" and a brief scene with the interview to Betty's family, there's a prolonged close-up of a newspaper with the date "24 April 1933." Besides the article on the serial killer, there's a headline that says "German ministers in Rome - Uproar as Strong Arm men pack benches." The body of the article though talks about the Persian parlament, and the prime minister mentioned is "Dr. Mossadeg." Mohammad Mossadegh's public office as PM and his visit in the US mentioned in the article happened in the 50s.
