Pat O'Brien, Sybil Jason, and Ann Sheridan in The Great O'Malley (1937)

Goofs

The Great O'Malley

Edit

Factual errors

O'Malley frequently refers to a small book, about the size of a an address book, which he says contains the penal code of New York City. An actual such book would be much larger and would be several hundred pages long, as indeed is shown when the judge consults his own copy.

Revealing mistakes

At 26 minutes and 04 seconds in, the white backdrop building is seen wildly undulating on its top, revealing that it's not a real building but a flimsy set decor front.

Character error

O'Malley prevents his mother, with whom he lives, from throwing breadcrumbs out the window to feed the birds, saying that it is against the law. She replies that she has been doing it for years. It makes no sense, therefore, that he is now bringing it up for the first time.
