Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame in In a Lonely Place (1950)

Goofs

In a Lonely Place

Edit

Continuity

As Steele and Mildred walk through the gate of his apartment building, she only has her purse hanging from her arm. When they enter the courtyard after passing through the gate, she holds her purse and the book is tucked into the crook of her arm.
When Dixon pours drinks for himself and Mildred, he uncaps a bottle and pours into the glass. Between cuts, the bottle appears capped before he is seen recapping it. In the subsequent shots, he moves the same bottle from one place to another, and it appears first uncapped, then capped.
While Dixon orders drinks in the bar, Mel puts his right hand on his left one resting on the counter. In the subsequent shot, he has his arms crossed.
When Dixon and Laurel are in his car leading up to when he side-swipes another car, his left hand side window is not up. After the accident, when the other driver walks up to confront him, his side window is up.
In Laurel's apartment, as Mel talks with her about Dixon, his right arm is by his side. In the next shot as he walks over towards the script on the table, his right hand is in his jacket pocket.

Revealing mistakes

After leaving the beach driving in his convertible, although Dix is going 70 MPH, neither his nor Laurel's hair is disturbed by the wind.
When Dixon, Laurel, Charlie, and Mel are seated in the restaurant booth, the other restaurant patrons and the scenery behind Dixon and Laurel keeps constantly changing from cut to cut.
When Dixon is driving erratically with Laurel Gray, the footage of trees shown on the rear projection screen behind the car keeps repeating as if on a loop.
Both Dix and Mildred mispronounce the name of the title character of the book Mildred recounts to Dix, "Althea Bruce." She repeatedly calls the character "Alethea," adding an extra syllable, while he pronounces the name "AL-the-a." It should be "Al-THE-a."

Miscellaneous

How Laurel is able to afford a nice apartment and later, a plane ticket to New York without any means of support is never made clear.
At beginning when Dix is side by side to the guy and his wife, the couples car is over the divider stripe and is more than half way into oncoming traffics lane.
In his autographing the book for the kids it's as if he's doing a cursive writing assignment in the 2nd grade. No flair or character to the penmanship at all.
