More Door Trouble. At Johnny's beach house an exterior shot shows the sliding glass door (over Johnny's left shoulder) is open at minute 7:32. At 7:44 the door is closed. At 7:50, the door is open again - just in time to see "shadow man" moving inside.
Door Trouble. At minute 4:19 exterior shot of Benton home shows front door flanked by tall, thin windows with the doorknob on the right and no clerestory window over the door. At minute 4:56 an interior shot of that door has the side windows replaced with wood paneling, a clerestory over the door and the doorknob has moved to the opposite side of the door.
As Ben Wallace is being cross-examined, his body position changes between front shots (he is squarely facing Perry) and side shots (he is leaning back on his left arm).
In the beachside scene where villainous Johnny Clay is pitching woo to the lovely Doris Shackley, a tight shot shows a boy playing in the surf behind them. When the camera pulls back for a medium shot so Johnny can answer the phone, the boy has disappeared..
In poker, collecting discarded cards into the deck before the hand has ended is a good way to be accused of cheating.
When Johnny calls Granger from the beach house he dials only five numbers instead of the seven needed to make a phone call.
From 1950 until 1957, telephone numbers were issued with only 5 digits. In 1958, numbers with a combination of two letters and five digits began to be phased in. So it is conceivable that the number dialed still had 5 digits only.

In the beach scene with Perry, Paul and Doris are talking. It is clear that at least some of that conversation is dubbed in. As the lip movements are slightly out of sync.
When Johnny and Doris are on the beach house deck, Johnny answers the phone on the deck when Ben Wallace calls him. After two cuts to Ben Wallace in a phone booth, it cuts back to Johnny on the phone, with Doris standing beside him. Through the opening in the sliding door nearest Johnny, you can see someone walking in the beach house. It's only for a short time between 07:55 and 07:56, but it looks like a big guy, reminiscent of Raymond Burr.
