Revealing mistake: In the fight scene right after the guards interrupt the duel, Porthos breaks his opponent's sword with a 3 bladed knife and then he throws a balled string which wraps around the guard's head. When the scene shifts to the guard's close up you can see the guard throw the wrap around ball himself. (00:28:55)
Revealing mistake: When D'Artagnan is in jail, right after he says "if you give me back my father's sword I'll cut your heart out", when Rochefort hits him in the back of the head you can see the sword handle never touches him. (00:33:15)
Chosen answer: They were most likely intimate, but until modern times, it was typical for men and woman to always maintain their modesty by never being completely nude in front of someone, even their spouse. The Countess was probably always partially clothed whenever they were intimate. Marital relations were usually confined to the bedroom, in the dark, and after retiring for the night. Aristocratic women also dressed privately, assisted by a lady's maid. At one time, people even bathed while partially clothed. The Countess may also have used some cosmetic treatment to help cover the brand.
