June Allyson and Peter Lawford in Good News (1947)

Goofs

Good News

Edit

Continuity

In the "Pass That Peace Pipe" dance number, the arrangement and number of sodas on the counter change between shots.
At the end of "The French Lesson" number, there is a cut to a new angle as Connie Lane and Tommy Marlowe are laughing. Their laugh starts over after the cut, without the previous laugh dying down.
In the Pass That Peace Pipe sequence, when Babe Doolittle holds the pipe and walks backwards, four people can be seen sitting at the table left of her. Then she throws away the pipe, and the camera switches from a closeup to a wide angle for the start of the dance. The table left of her now has only three people sitting at it. The blonde girl with blue shirt has vanished.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

During the "Varsity Drag" musical number, one of the chorus girls is accidentally pushed out of step.

Possibly (even likely) intentional as non-professional (i.e., high school, college) productions are rarely perfectly performed.

Revealing mistakes

In the locker room, Tommy tries several times to call the sorority house using the pay phone. The first time he gets a busy signal and pulls his coin out of the slot, and the prop phone almost comes off the wall. On the following call, when he gets another busy signal, he holds the prop in place with his right hand while pulling out the coin.
All the students look much too old to be in college.

Anachronisms

None of the women are either dressed (by Helen Rose) or coiffed (by Sydney Guilaroff) in anything resembling 1920s fashions. All the hair styles and shoulder-padded, figure-hugging clothing, and ankle strap shoes, are, at best, 90% 1947 and 10% 1927; Lennie Hayton's brassy musical arrangements are 100% 1947.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

During several of the songs, the audio and what the actors are saying don't match up, especially during the party as Tommy finishes singing Lucky in Love.

Character error

One song offers lyrics in English each translated into French. "I love you" is translated as "je vous aime." "Vous" is a second person formal pronoun; in the context of expressing romantic love, the second person familiar pronoun would be used ("Je t'aime").
