The makers of "In the Company of Men" must have been short on film because they left in a pretty big mistake when one of the guys holding the overhead microphone let it fall into view of the filming camera.

The microphone comes into view during a sequence in a bedroom a little more than half way through the movie.

Now, they either knew it had happened and left it in because it being a small budget film they couldn't afford to reshoot the scene. Or they just didn't notice all together! Either way, that dangaling menace of a microphone lends more to audience laughter than it does the deep emotional dexterity the actors were after.
