(at around 47 mins) When Alice and Father Tom are at the restaurant, they each have a plate of food. In the final shot when both of them drink from their wine glasses, however, both plates are missing.
In order to make the film appear more authentic for the time in which it is set (1967), cue marks, or "reel change" marks, are inserted at approximately every 20 minutes. However, the marks are oval when they should actually be circular, since this is a film presented in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio and not in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The only time the marks should be oval is if a film is projected with an anamorphic lens. On an anamorphic film print, the cue marks are circular, but the anamorphic lens makes the circle look like an oval when projected on a screen.
(at around 1h 3 mins) The Priest quotes from a Bible verse. "Do not believe every spirit , but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world." He said that comes from John Chapter 4 verse 1 (which most Bible readers would take as coming from the Gospel of St. John 4:1) It does not. It comes from the First Epistle of John Chapter 4 verse 1 (1John 4:1)
(at around 1h 8 mins) Drive licenses pulled from behind the basement wall clearly show expiration date of 1950. Addresses show ZIP codes. They did not exist until 1963.

In 1967, a fair percentage of the customers would have been smoking. The percentage of smokers in America for that period was around 40%.

The movie's set in 1967, but there are no ashtrays - not in the home, the ice cream shop, or the restaurant.
