• Crew or equipment visible: Near the beginning, there is a scene in a city street when the entire crew, camera, and boom are reflected in a store window.
  
  
• Continuity: When Alderson walks over to meet Dudley as he's coming off the plane, the long shot shows Dudley walking amid a group of people, including a stewardess. A moment later, when Alderson reaches Dudley in close-up, all the surrounding people have vanished.
  
  
• Continuity: When Caswell is shown looking out the office window after placing his order to sell Treadway stock short, Julius Steigel is seen sitting in his chair, his right arm on the desk and his left hand on his left knee. In the close-up immediately following, his left hand is clutching his coat lapel.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: When the elevator doors, seen from Bullard's point of view, open at the lobby of the office building at the film's beginning, it is obvious that the people in the lobby have been standing still, awaiting their cue when the doors open, as they are clearly standing immobile for a moment before they start to move around the scene.
  
  
• Anachronisms: Although the film takes place on June 19-20, 1953, when Don and Mary Walling are driving home from the plant the first night, all the cars seen parked along the street in the rear projection through the car's windows date from not later than about 1940.
  
  
• Continuity: When Don stops the car in the middle of the street and gets out to walk home, all the cars previously seen parked end-to-end on the street through his car windows a moment before suddenly vanish, with no cars anywhere to be seen. But in the very next shot of Jesse Grimm and his wife passing by in their car, the street suddenly changes from being devoid of any parked cars to those same background shots of pre-1940 vehicles parked thickly along the curb.
