Some gaffes?
Absolutely love this movie. Seen it many, many times. Just beautiful. That said I do have a couple of questions about some things. It's always fun to scrutinize movies and practically every one has got some errors. Don't know if the following are errors, they just seem odd to me.
1. Scotty has acrophobia and yet he lives in San Francisco. At one time, when he's following Madeleine, we see him driving down a pretty steep hill. Doesn't his acrophobia kick in than? And what about all the other steep hills in the city?
2. How did Scotty manage to get both his and Madeleine's car to his apartment?
3. When Scotty and Judy / Madeleine drive towards the Spanish monastery they drive on the left side of the road. Besides that: Scotty says he likes to go for a drive, but to the monastery it is 100 miles. Some little drive if you ask me.
Besides this there are other things. Like the woman in the hotel telling that Madeleine didn't come in. How did madeleine go past her and how did she get away? Or is the woman in on the fix and paid by Allister?
Or continuity errors like the doctor having his hands down and in the following shot folded. Just fun stuff.
