Raymond Burr and William Hopper in Perry Mason (1957)

Goofs

The Case of the Rolling Bones

Perry Mason

Edit

Continuity

As Perry and Paul fly to Reno, the plane in the air is a 2-engine, propeller-driven aircraft (perhaps a DC-3 or DC-4). Yet, the plane that is landing in Reno is a 4-engine prop aircraft. A DC-4 is a four engine plane.

The airplane is no doubt a DC-3. In fact that is a stock shot. It is used several times over the series.
In the courtroom, when Mr. Kowalski hands Mason his watch, it is clearly a standard wristwatch with a broken band (which is why it's in his pocket). However, when Mason examines it, it is a larger pocket watch.

Factual errors

At 0:01, Donna Knox walks to the teller's cage. Behind her is a door with "Safety Deposit Vault" painted on it. It should say "Safe Deposit Vault," or something similar. The boxes inside the vault are "safe deposit" boxes, not "safety deposit" boxes.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Donna Knox cashes the $20,000 check at the bank, and when the teller gives her the cash, not only does he not bother to count it out to her, he only gives her three bundles, presumably shorting her $5,000.

In fact, there are four bundles: the second "bundle" was actually TWO bundles, the cashier places them on the pile with two distinct motions.

Revealing mistakes

In the courtroom, Hamilton Burger refers to Millie Foster as "Millard Foster".

Miscellaneous

The episode was adapted from Erle Stanley Gardner's book "The Case of The Rolling Bones", which featured a prominent subplot involving crooked dice (or "bones", in gamblers' argot). The subplot was dropped for this streamlined adaptation, but the title was retained -- making the title totally unconnected to anything taking place on-screen.
