The top mistakes in The Bridges of Madison County http://www.moviemistakes.com/film213 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:55:11 +0000 155835 The red truck is shown to have 1991 license plates, although the film is set in the 1960's. Also near the end, when Meryl Streep is riding in her husband's truck through town, many modern cars are seen in the background through the truck window. 133922 When Meryl Streep opens the letter from the lawyer, she removes the cross from the envelope twice. 46412 Not only is the tractor the wrong vintage, it is pulling a round baler that wasn't invented until the 1970's. 46938 Driving to the bridge the landscape (a farm with a red and a yellow house) in the background (behind Meryl Streep) is seen twice. 1320 When Meryl Streep first gets into the pickup with Clint Eastwood and they are driving, a tractor passes them on the road. The tractor is obviously a later model than there were in the 60's or whenever the movie was supposed to take place.
