Corrected entry: At his high school talent show perfomance, Dewey's mom said that Dewey was 14 years old and that scene was set in 1953, yet at the end of the movie it says Dewey was born in 1936, which would have made him 17 in 1953, not 14.

Revealing mistake: When the black singer of the band of the nightclub can't perform, Dewey steps up to prove his worth. When he starts getting really into it, he joins the piano player in playing some tunes. You can see some keys playing, but they are not being touched by either person. (00:20:50)

Correction: He could have been 16, not 17, depending on when in the year he was born. Regardless, his mother could easily have made a character mistake and remembered his age wrong.
