Anachronisms 

When the phone at the house is hung up after they return from the office, the dial with the phone's number is show. It says "area code 313" and under that "1K5-0132". Back in 1954 it would not have the area code and instead of the first 2 digits of the number it would have the "exchange" name with the first two letters capitalized. (Example: HUdson 5 0132).
Though the film is set in 1954, in the scene where Bill Duke's character is introduced, "Blue Pepper (Far East of the Blues)" is heard in the background--a Duke Ellington piece that wasn't released until 1967.

When the police detective Joe Finney is talking outside the Wertz home, he says, "...the $64,000 question." The film is set in 1954 and "The $64,000 Question" quiz show didn't debut until 1955. The phrase wouldn't be in the vernacular at that time. The phrase would have been "The $64 Question" then.
