I’m sorry but Hitchcock’s continuity person on North by Northwest should have been canned.
Termination error #1: Roger Thornhill’s scrawled message on the inside cover of his R.O.T. matchbook was composed within three lines, but when Eve Kendall reads it on the couch downstairs it has four lines.
Termination error #2: Several matches are missing when the message is initially written, but when Eve reads it the match supply is restored to full capacity.
Errors copied — not discovered by me.
