Edward G. Robinson and Jayne Mansfield in Illegal (1955)

Goofs

Illegal

Edit

Continuity

Near the end of the film, the Ford automobile that Victor Scott leaves his meeting with Frank Garland in (with Miss Hinkel at the wheel), has hubcaps that are missing, then appear, and then disappear in subsequent shots as the drive proceeds.
When Ellen Miles is with Ray Borden in the diner and getting ready to leave; she begins to put on her left hand glove. But on the next immediate cut she now begins putting on right hand glove and leaves the left hand bare.
When Scott's client starts to show him the embezzled money, Scott spreads the briefcase wide and flat; and then holds the edges with both hands. But on the next immediate cut his hands have changed orientation and are now off the briefcase and on the desk.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 1h 23 mins) During the chase scene, the film is flipped for all three cars as they make a right turn then a quick left; the steering wheels are on the right side, the license plates are backwards and all the building sign-age is reversed.
When after being chased by Andy over many city blocks for a lengthy amount of time, Victor Scott tells Miss Hinkel to drop him off at the next corner and she then lets him out across Dale's Record Shop. But Dale's Record Shop is the exact spot where Andy first got in his car and started chasing them.
When Victor Scott, having collapsed, and is lying on the courtroom floor at the end of the film, no one sends for medical assistance, or offers help to him, but are seen standing around him gawking and listening to him, instead. No doctor or nurse ever comes to Scott's aid in this sequence.

Crew or equipment visible

Right after Scott pleads guilty to drunkenness and disorderly conduct, he is removed from the courtroom and goes into an adjacent room. Two men from the proceeding case get into a physical altercation. As the bailiff breaks it up, the shadow of the boom can be seen moving in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Character error

When Victor Scott addresses the jury he refers to the 45 revolver used to kill Gloria Benson in the opening scene. The gun in fact is a semi-automatic pistol, not a revolver.
When Edward G. Robinson visits Nina Foch after she's been arrested, initially she's resistant, but when he tells her that she faces a murder charge, she breaks down and says, "Oh, Ray" (the name of her dead husband) instead of "Oh, Victor," the name of Edward G. Robinson's character.
