Goofs

Rosemary didn't close the closet door all the way before fetching the knife because towels and linens were blocking it, but the door is completely closed when she returns.

When Rosemary is getting ready to go through the closet to the Castevets' apartment, she takes down all the shelves and then goes away. When she comes back, the shelf above her head has been replaced.

When Rosemary begins putting the Scrabble tiles away, the wrong anagram (one Rosemary had already discarded) can be glimpsed to the side.

At the beginning of the movie when Terry is found to have jumped out the window, Guy tells the police she had been staying with the Castevets in 7-E. When Rosemary introduced herself to the Castevets, Guy said he & Rosemary lived in 7-E.

At Rosemary's party, Guy steps from behind the bartender to accept a drink in a closeup shot. In the following mid-range shot, from a different angle, he is shown in the background stepping up again to take a glass from the bartender.

The 8' high secretary that Guy and Mr. Nicklas move in the hallway is obviously a hollow prop. A bureau that size would weigh 400lbs and have been impossible for two men to slide across the floor in 10 seconds.

Within a very short time Guy and Rosemary have completely painted over the entire apartment in white: walls, woodwork, trim, and doors. No high-end, 100-year-old apartment house in Manhattan would allow a tenant to ruin the fine old woodwork built into the structure.

When Rosemary discovers that Dr. Sapirstein is part of the coven, his secretary makes an appointment for the other pregnant woman in the waiting room to see the doctor on July 10th. In 1966, July 10th fell on a Sunday and practically all business offices were closed on Sundays back then.

The doctor tells Rosemary June 28th is the day of her expected delivery, NOT the date for her next appointment. She found out she was pregnant at the end of October, and the doctor wanted Rosemary to come in the next week for the blood sample, hence why blood is written on the calendar in November.

When Guy and Rosemary are walking down the street discussing their options about renting, you can see many people staring at them and into the camera.

Towards the very end, a man is shooting photographs with a Pentax 35mm camera. Each time he advances the shutter, the rewind knob does not turn, indicating there is no film in the camera.

Rosemary cooks a steak for only a few seconds on each side and then begins eating it, indicating a pregnancy craving for raw meat, but when she cuts into it, it's very obvious the steak is now fully cooked.

When the nurse at Dr. Hill's office is taking Rosemary's blood, the unnatural way her skin bulges outward reveals this is most probably a prosthetic.

When Rosemary is in the laundry room with Terry, we hear the washer buzz and Rosemary throws a capful of softener into it. We hear the distinct sound of the liquid hitting an empty washer, when it is supposed to be full of clothes.

When Rosemary is in downtown Manhattan during the Christmas season of 1965 (her baby, we are told, is due to be born in June 1966), the title of the movie on the marquee of Radio City Music Hall is The Happiest Millionaire (1967), which didn't open until the Christmas season of 1967.

At the funeral, one of the limousines is a 1968 though the movie is set in 1966.

Spotted twice is the use of 1967 Chevrolet taxicabs, even though the time frame for the film is late 1965 through the end of June 1966. The 1967 models would not have been introduced until the Fall of 1966.

Though we hear Minnie's dialogue, "No matter where we are, our thought's will always be with you", her lips are not moving.

When Rosemary talks to the cab driver, before going to see doctor Hill, the audio clearly does not match the picture perfectly.

The ticking of Guy and Rosemary's bedroom clock is used very effectively at several points, most notably during Rosemary's "dreams." Yet when Rosemary demands to see Guy's shoulders, to see if he has been "marked" by the coven, we cut back to Rosemary, and the electric cord from the bedroom clock is plainly visible. Electric clocks don't tick.

During the dinner scene at Hutch's apartment, the camera and some lighting is visible in the reflection of the oil lantern on the table. This is most evident on the Criterion Collection Blu-ray edition.

Palm trees are noticeable in the cemetery.

If the coven at the Bramford could hex or brainwash individuals by obtaining a personal item from them, it would have been easy to control Rosemary using the same method.

Mr. Nicklas, the building superintendent, refers to the large piece of furniture blocking the closet as a "secretary", but it is in fact a "highboy" dresser. A "secretary" is a secretary desk and is much different in design than the "highboy" dresser shown in the film.

When Rosemary visits Dr. Sapirstein in the last act, his office manager tells her that the tannis root amulet she wore gave off the same nasty smell as the doctor's aftershave, but Dr. Sapirstein wears a beard. But then, the secretary says, "But then it isn't, is it?" meaning she realized it couldn't be his aftershave she smelled.

Lapse in editing. When Minnie brings the dessert Guy attributes it to ESP. This is just dangling without explanation. In the novel, Guy was supposed to pick up a pie for dessert and forgot. He mentions that he passed 2 bakeries. The line about ESP for the dessert is meaningless without mentioning forgetting to pie the dessert.
