Goofs

Connie is in Mr. Dingle's room having a discussion. They are both in pajamas. The top button of Connie's PJ top is unbuttoned. As she turns to her left to go to the next room, the top button is buttoned and there are no gaps between buttons as before. There was not enough time to have fixed it.

As Connie is speaking to Joe Carter for the first time in the hallway of the apartment, she asks "You don't happen to know a gentleman by the name of Benjamin Dingle, do you"? On the next cut, she is silently mouthing the very same words as Mr. Dingle arrives at the door after passing in front of her.

When Mr. Carter goes to take a shower after Miss Milligan returns from work, he is shown wearing a bathrobe, socks, and slippers. As he enters the bathroom, he removes his bathrobe and then gets into the shower. However, he likely is still wearing his socks, as he isn't shown taking them off.

When Benjamin gets locked out of the apartment, he is seen walking out of the door, then disappears down the hallway. The scene shifts to outside, and Benjamin is in front of the door as it slams shut.

(at around 43 minutes) Joe's arms change position.

In the restaurant, guests are drinking liquor at the bar and carrying drinks to their table. In 1943, D.C. law permitted only beer and wine to be served anywhere except at a table or bar, and only staff, not guests, could move drinks from one place to another.

Eggs and coffee were rationed during wartime, even in busy Washington, D.C., yet they are present at the breakfast table on more than one occasion.

After Joe gives Connie the travel bag and prepares to leave, she asks if he is going back to California. He replies, "No, Africa." The audio has been dubbed, as he clearly is not saying "Africa". He apparently is saying "Japan".

When Dingle walks into Connie's apartment for the first time;around when Connie says "say, you're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you", the bedroom door straight ahead opens slowly by itself.

The Capitol is not visible from the purported apartment address of 1708 D St NW. The Capitol is over 1.5 miles from the address, and the line of sight passes through numerous Federal buildings lining Constitution Avenue. Those buildings were there in 1942.

Benjamin Dingle needs the room for only 2 days, as he has a hotel reservation at that time. This would have been a big selling point to Connie Milligan, but for some reason, Ben negotiates staying a week on a trial basis.

Connie mentions to Dingle that she can provide him a ride downtown, stating her regular routine being that she is the first person to be picked up by her ride, and after her there are three other passengers to be picked up. However when her ride arrives, there are already two passengers in the car (in addition to the driver) and the car is only a four-seater.

For the first half-hour, Dingle misquotes Farragut's famous, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead", saying instead "full steam ahead".

(at around 3 mins) As Ben is scanning the want ads in the Washington Sun, under the heading "Houses Wanted", the top ad reads, "This beautifully designed new detached home contains 7 full rooms, 2 baths, attractive den and lavatory on the first floor; large lot and many other desirable features. Close to shopping and bus service." Obviously, this is a house for sale or rent and not a "house wanted".

Connie explains to Benjamin in great detail the morning schedule for the apartment, which she has written down for him and from which she is reading to him. When it comes time to go through the routine for the first time, Connie chastises him for not bringing in the newspaper. This task is on his written instructions, but she did not mention it in her detailed verbal instruction when she was reading off the copy.
