• Anachronisms: When Rosemary is in downtown Manhattan during the Christmas season of 1965 (her baby, we are told, is due to be born in June 1966), the title of the movie on the marquee of Radio City Music Hall is The Happiest Millionaire (1967), which didn't open until the Christmas season of 1967.

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The doctor tells Rosemary June 28th is the day of her expected delivery, NOT the date for her next appointment. She found out she was pregnant at the end of October, and the doctor wanted Rosemary to come in the next week for the blood sample, hence why blood is written on the calendar in November.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Guy and Rosemary are walking down the street discussing their options about renting, you can see many people staring at them and into the camera.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After Rosemary gives birth and becomes distraught, her husband refers to her emotional condition as "prepartum". In fact, he makes the same mistake twice. The correct term for behavioral disturbance after delivery is "postpartum".
  
  
• Continuity: When Rosemary visits Dr. Sapirstein in the last act, his office manager tells her that the tannis root amulet she wore gave off the same nasty smell as the doctor's aftershave, but Dr. Sapirstein wears a beard.
  
  

• Factual errors: SPOILER: When Rosemary and Guy are arriving back at the Bramford, and notice all the commotion about Terry's "suicide," Guy informs a police officer that she was staying with the Castevets in Apartment 7E, yet later in the scene when Guy and Rosemary talk to the Castevets, Guy says that he and Rosemary live in 7E. Even though their apartment used to be the back part of the Castevets, there would not be two 7E's in one building.
