The Hustler

[BestTVever]

This is the next to last episode and has a few quirks that I want to discuss. The scene opens with the boys playing basketball while Oliver leans on the fence watching them. Without looking at the end of the driveway, Oliver turns to the boys and points the other way and says "Hey look you guys." Its funny because he was not even looking at the end of the driveway to see what he is trying to alert the boys to.

Lets talk about this car port where the pool table was set up. Its sort of the entrance to the garage, correct? Bobby is practicing pool and Cindy comes in with her bike. In the scene the pool table is in the driveway because the red wooden fence is on the side of the pool table. The pool table keeps moving because then it shows Bobby making a shot and the fence is gone and now there are shelves from inside of the car port on the side of the pool table. This happens several times over the episode. I wonder why the needed to move the set or the pool table to film the players?

There is a Driscol's Toy Store box on the shelf in the car port.

When Mike is at work Mr Mathews comes in to talk to Mike about the pool table. If you look at the door Mr Mathews comes through there is a painting at the far end of that hall. That painting is in the Brady House. I have seen it in the hallway upstairs. Or is it the painting that is under the stairs. In any event it was taken and put in Mike's office.

You will find continuity errors even from the greatest film directors.

I just watched the episode and it seems like the pool table was in such a tight space that they probably had to move it for certain camera angles.
