I Want to Live! (1958)

Goofs

I Want to Live!

Edit

Continuity

Near the beginning, when the bongo player is playing slowly, the bongo on the right has a wear spot. When he speeds up, neither bongo has any wear spots.
When Barbara wakes up screaming from a nightmare, a prison matron comes in shining a flashlight on her. In close-up, the light has a Fresnel-type lens, but in the next long shot, the flashlight has a clear lens.

Revealing mistakes

When Barbara's son is brought to the jail for a visit and the presence of the news media upsets Barbara, she retreats to an interior area of the jail and pounds on the wall in frustration. The "brick" wall gives slightly as she throws her weight onto it.

Anachronisms

When Barbara arrives in Los Angeles, long before her 1953 trial, the cinema at Hollywood and Vine is showing a double bill of Saratoga Trunk (1945) (1945), possibly a revival, and The Square Jungle (1955). The Square Jungle was made in 1955 and not released in Los Angeles until January 1956.

Character error

One of the newspapers writes Emmett Perkins name as Emmet.
