Time frame


Love this movie. However, I'm a bit confused with the time frame. Don's brother leaves on the 6:15 p.m. train on Friday. At the point where Don is trying to sell his typewriter he is told that it is Saturday (few seconds later there is a shot of a clock saying, I believe, 12:35 p.m.). So all the action between the time the brother leaves and Don trying to sell the typewriter is less than 24 hours? Just doesn't seem to make sense with the scenes one sees (daylight, night time, bar and restaurant scenes, etc). Maybe I missed something?

The thing is the left on Thursday. This is from Don's brother in the opening scene:

"We'll get there this afternoon. That'll give us all Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. We'll make it a long, wonderful weekend.
