~ GOOFS ~ * Continuity: In the big fight and dance at the barn raising, the brothers change locations rapidly. * Revealing mistakes: Obvious stand-in for Ephriam (Jacques d'Amboise) when Milly is giving birth. * Continuity: In the barn dance scene Gideon is doing flips on the sawhorse. His shirt becomes untucked and then retucked between flips. * Continuity: Frank's flap on his red shirt changes from a v shape like Ephraim's to a square like Gideon's throughout the same scene. * Revealing mistakes: In "Wonderful, Wonderful Day" there are live birds flying ont the set, but they clearly were confused by the backdrop and several crash into it (the director acknowledges this in a documentary). * Anachronisms: The "Cook Wanted" sign shown after Milly leaves is clearly written in permanent marker. * Miscellaneous: During "June Bride", the icicles on the eaves of the porch are swaying * Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Caleb says, "There was no 'F' names in the Bible, so Ma named him Frankincense, 'cause he smelled so sweet." However, there are in fact three "F" names in the Bible: Felix (referenced in Acts 24:27); Fes'tus (referenced in Acts 24:27, 25:1, 25:4, 25:9, 25:12, 25:13, 25:14, 25:22, 25:24, 26:24, 26:25, and 26:32); and Fortunatus (referenced in 1 Corinthians 16:17). * Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the final scene, when the six brothers are marrying the girls, Gideon and Alice both look behind them for the approval of the fathers. However, there are only five fathers behind them because Alice's father is the parson and in front of them. * Continuity: When Adam climbs out of the window to get into the tree, the leg he puts out first changes between shots. * Audio/visual unsynchronized: During "Goin' Courtin'", when Calebs groans, he groans longer than his mouth is open for. * Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Milly is ringing the bell for dinner, she is striking it with a spoon and steadying it with her right hand. This would have muted the bell, but the sound rings true. Information found at The Internet Movie Base |
