The Suitcase - S4-E7
Factual error: At the beginning of the episode, the male employees are all discussing James Bond. It is mentioned that 'James Bond goes underwater, he met a girl underwater'. This refers to the plot of the movie 'Thunderball' (it does not occur in the Thunderball novel, nor any novel or film prior to this). The main plot of this episode centres around the Sonny Liston VS Cassius Clay fight in May 1965, and 'Thunderball' was not released until December of that year.
Continuity mistake: The mink Roger purchases for Joan is dark brown. When Joan opens the box, the mink is black. (00:06:45 - 00:07:50)
Continuity mistake: Don's toothache: That morning, he packs the right side of his mouth with a cotton swab. That night, he puts ice on the left side.
Revealing mistake: Bobby jumps on the bed and breaks it, and of course Betty makes sure he knows it: "Great. You broke it." But the bed buckles and breaks when Bobby is at the high point of his jumping, not as he lands.
Factual error: At one point Henry mentions that he is from "Mount Salem" in Westchester County. There is no Mt. Salem. There's a North Salem and a Mt Kisco, but no Mt. Salem.
The Phantom - S5-E13
Visible crew/equipment: When Don is in bed in his "penthouse" you see a head come by in the mirror below which comes from outside. (00:21:10)
Chosen answer: At that time, call girls did not command the same amount of money as they do today. By that standard, the $25 would be considered a high rate. Today's upper-level prostitutes can demand far more for their services.
