Movie has the same goof Double Indemnity does - key plot point

Spoilers for Double Indemnity if you haven't seen it, but DI famously has a completely incorrect scene in it, which is the scene that is shown in MMM - where the two of them are in the hallway

The problem with that scene is that NO DOORS EVER open out into hallways. It's a fire hazard, because it blocks the way, and therefore they are prohibited by every fire code. Every door always opens into the apartment. Huge goof.

In MMM, Allen makes a similar mistake. Very early in MMM, Diane Keaton hears a noise late at night, goes to the front door of the apartment, looks through the peephole, and sees Mr. House getting into the elevator.

Except just a few minutes earlier, they established that the House apartment is DIRECTLY across from the elevator, and that Woody and Diane live around the corner. The door that is across from them - and the only door Diane Keaton could have seen from her peephole - is the door to the stairway. She could never have seen Mr. House getting onto the elevator.

I can't believe Allen would screw up so badly like this, so I have to assume that this goof was intentional.



I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
