Goofy little continuity quirks in films
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2015 1:01 pm
I sometimes notice odd little things in the continuity of a film that don't mean much, but puzzle me.
I recently watched "I Was A Male War Bride" 1949, Cary Grant/Ann Sheridan/Howard Hawks. A supporting
actor I've always liked, Kenneth Tobey (The Thing, 1951), apparently has red hair in one scene, and black hair in another.
In The Thing, I believe he has black hair throughout. I'm guessing he didn't photograph as well with the reddish hair,
which looks odd in b/w. Wasn't that a problem with Lucille Ball?
Anybody else have any favorite little oddball quirks?
