Un goffo cameraman non riesce a combinare niente di buono: potrebbe riprendere fatti importanti se non dimenticasse di inserire la pellicola in macchina e se non sovrapponesse due filmati. Sta per abbandonare il lavoro quando una scimmietta, che ha ripreso involontariamente due scene interessantissime, gli porta il successo e l'amore di una bella ragazza.

At the end of the film when Buster and Sally are walking in the ticker tape parade that Buster mistakenly thinks is for him, some newsreel footage shows the parade is actually for Charles Lindbergh after his historic flight over the Atlantic which took place in 1927. Earlier in the film, after Buster purchases his movie camera, he opens his bank passbook and we see his last transaction when the account is closed is June 30, 1928. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Buster breaks the glass in the door for the first time, the remaining pieces change in between shots. <br>------------------------<br><br>As Buster goes to the newsreel office for the first time, we can see the same girl leaving the building in consecutive shots. <br>------------------------<br><br>At the start of the "date" scene, Buster is wearing white socks and does so through most of the date. But in the famous changing-room scene - and in another place or two during the date - he's clearly wearing dark socks. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the Yankee Stadium sequence, an elevated train goes by in the background in one shot, but disappears before leaving the frame in the next shot. <br>------------------------<br><br>Has anyone else ever wondered why an office in New York City would have a Union Pacific RR calendar on the wall? This placement has always seemed odd to me.The Union Pacific, which was headquartered in Omaha, did not operate east of Chicago at the time. <br>------------------------<br><br>Right before the last time the glass in the door is broken (when the wind shuts it abruptly), it is possible to see that it's already cracked to ensure that it will break when the door slams. <br>------------------------<br><br>Near the end, when Sally and her Boss are watching the part of the tape filmed by the monkey, the shots of Luke bringing Sally to land change, as if the monkey had moved the camera. There's also some movement to fit the characters better, which couldn't be managed by an animal. <br>------------------------<br><br>
