Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Emmett Clark calls both the owner of the Diner and a fisherman "Harry". The ending credits list "Harry" as being played by "Don Sturdy" (a.k.a. Howard Hesseman) who also played a "Counterboy" in "Goober Goes to the Auto Show" (2/5/1968) and is the fisherman. This leaves the ending credit listing "Lou" played by "Gil Lamb" as being the Diner owner.
