• Anachronisms: The band playing at Mrs Windemere's party includes a guitarist playing a Gibson electric guitar (Gibson pearl-inlaid logo is visible). This is 6 years before Gibson released its first commercial electric guitar (the ES-150) in 1936. Electric guitars were an experimental novelty in 1930.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the band is playing at the party, the trumpet (actually a cornet) is shown without a mute, but the soundtrack is of a muted trumpet. The tone heard is not possible otherwise.
  
  
• Anachronisms: The instrument being played in the band at the party is not a cornet, but a flugelhorn. In some of the musical selections, the sound heard is that of an unmuted trumpet, in others, it is that of a trumpet with a Harmon mute. The flugelhorn, as shown has an entirely different timbre.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: When Meg finds the check stubs for checks written to Mrs. Erlynne, all of the check stubs have the same check number on them. They should be sequential.
  
  
• Anachronisms: Cast members are shown smoking filter tipped cigarettes which were not available in the 1930s.
  
  
• Anachronisms: In the scene where Meg is painting her nails (after discovering her husband has been writing checks to Mrs. Erlynne), the nail varnish clearly has a gray plastic lid, which wouldn't have been available in this era.
  
  
• Continuity: Before the party, when Meg polishes her nails and later she puts on her gloves. Afterwards she puts on her earrings and shoes, the gloves are gone.
