In the last scene of movie, when Dani and Maureen are sitting on her bed, Maureen is braiding Dani's hair. Dani's hair is completely braided all the way down to the end.

When Dani leaves the pond after her nighttime swim, she is soaking wet. However, when she returns home, she is completely dry.
While waiting for Maureen to vacate the bathroom, Dani turns on the record player to play her well-worn Elvis 45 "Loving You". The sound starts immediately, but in 1957 record players used vacuum tubes, not transistors, and they took about 20 seconds to warm up before the sound started working.
