Continuity mistake: Part 6: When Pug Henry is conversing with Palmer over drinks, Pug holds his glass in one hand. When the shot cuts, he's holding it with both hands. When it cuts again, he's back to the one-handed pose. (01:30:20)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Part 7: The car Captain Henry parks near the cliff at the very end moves itself between takes. It's sitting on the road when he parks it, but when we cut to an overhead shot after he gets out, the car has suddenly moved off the road and into the dirt alongside it.

Factual error: Part 4: The cord on the telephone Pug uses to call Pam should be a straight wire. Instead, it's coiled: a design not yet in use in the 1940s. (00:13:30)
