Some famous mistakes not fixed before CGI:
In a battle scene from Cleopatra on a distant ridge is either a catering truck or a grip truck.
In another Biblical picture (I think with Stewart Granger) there is a contrail visible in a wide shot.
In “Duel” there is a low angle car interior shot of Dennis Weaver driving and the head of a microphone in the edge of the frame obviously taped to the rear view mirror.
This was before Video Assist so I’m sure there were words watching dailies dealing with “Ah, nobody will notice.”
