Blooper

The brim of Rebecca's straw hat goes from up to down and back between alternating shots when the family returns from the baseball game.

After Earl and Josie go to bed after the reunion dinner, the positions of Nathan's hand and cup change.

When Mama is fastening David Lee's coverall snap, it appears that she does it until he turns around, and it is still undone. When the camera angle switches, and he takes off running, they are fastened.

James Best as the Sheriff wears sideburns that, while characteristic for 1972, when the film was made, are definitely out of fashion for 1933, when it is set.

When the children arrive at the ball game, one of them asks Rebecca what the score is. She answers "3-2, but the other team has the bases loaded, and there is only one out." Nathan then strikes a man out, and his son calls out to him "Two more to go, Daddy!" But if there was already one out, he should have shouted out "One more to go." Nathen the picks a man off base, and that should have finished the inning and game with that being the third out. Instead, Nathan's son calls out "One more," and Nathan then pitches to another man, striking him out too, for a fourth out.
