Finian's Rainbow (1968)
Goofs
Anachronisms
Most of the cars in the film are from the late 1940s, indicating that it is set when the play premiered (1947), but at the end of the "Begat" number the gospel singers' car is being towed by a 1960's tow truck.
Continuity
In the song "Old Devil Moon" as Woody and Sharon dance through the stream, Woody has clearly got bare feet and his hands are in Sharon's. In the next shot, he has his shoes back on. It even looks like his trousers are dry.
Before Sharon begins to sing her part during the "Old Devil Moon" she is lying down, as she begins to sing is sitting up and then in the next shot she is lying down again.
When Sharon has finished washing her father's shirt, the front of her dress is wet, but when she meets Og the Leprechaun in the well, her dress is dry.
In the scene where Finian goes into the woods to bury the crock of gold, there is a shot looking down on him while he is digging the hole. It shows quite a lot of dirt between the pile of dirt he has heaped up and the hole, enough to cover up the grass immediately around the hole on that side. But in the shot right after he places the crock in the ground, there is no dirt on the grass around the hole.
The mail-order company whose catalog is used repeatedly in the movie is named "SHEARS" - the name being clearly visible on the front cover, at many points. However, during the song "That Great Come and Get It Day", the inside of the front cover clearly reads "Only at Sears".
When Ogg is talking to Finian at the creek, he falls in the water. Seconds later his hair is completely dry and combed.
