Goofs

When Richard is talking on the phone, he moves to the porch during his phone call. At first, the cord of the phone is seen coming around the corner through the doorway, but later disappears and eventually reappears.

In the scene where Richard opens the door for the Girl when she forgot her keys, he exits the apartment to talk to her and look at her going upstairs. When he exits, the lights are on, but when he returns after he hurts his neck, the lights are off.

The second time Richard slips on a roller skate, it bends, but when he picks it up again, it appears unbent.

When Sherman gets his finger stuck in the champagne bottle it appears 1/4 full. After he gets his finger out and the girl pours a glass it is about 3/4 full.

When Miss Morris enters Richard's office, she has a poster in her left hand, and a notepad in her right hand. Going through the door, the poster switches to her right hand and she places the notepad carried in her left hand on the desk.

From when he was drinking his bottle of raspberry soda, to drinking his liquor without ice, to the Girl going to get her champagne bottle, Sherman had not prepared a bucket of ice. Yet, he rushed into the kitchen for a bucket of ice in the fridge, not freezer.

Richard explains that his finger is stuck in the champagne bottle because the bubbles create a vacuum. Bubbles wouldn't create a vacuum and would, in fact, push his finger out of the bottle.

Richard got his finger stuck in the bottle because he is clumsy, he is just saying that it's the bubbles in order to save face.

When Helen shoots Richard in his fantasy, seven shots are heard although the gun is a six-shot revolver. Moreover, she enters the apartment by emptying the gun into the front door, yet she doesn't reload. Some of the bullet holes disappear between shots.

Since this is Richard's fantasy, it need not conform to reality.

When Richard is reading the statistics in the doctor's manuscript, a stat is given that the seven year itch affects 84% of men in their 7th year of marriage. The next stat says that this number increases to 92% in the summertime. However, this makes no sense. If the stat is that 84% of men in their 7th year of marriage get the itch, then how can it change depending on the season? The logic does not follow.

The logic follows just fine. The proclivity to act upon the "seven year itch" clearly increases during the summer months when mens' wives are out of town, leaving them alone in the city to meet other women, which is the premise of the entire story.

When Richard sets the coffee pot on the stove and turns on the gas, there is no flame, yet the pot is percolating when he returns to the kitchen minutes later.

Helen and Ricky supposedly summer at a lakeside resort in Ogunquit, Maine, but there are no lakes in Ogunquit, which is a seaside town. And when Sherman calls, he mispronounces the town as "Ogonquit."

Both Richard and his boss, who are in the book publishing industry, refer to "The Portrait of Dorian Gray". The actual title of the Oscar Wilde novel is "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
