The top mistakes in National Velvet http://www.moviemistakes.com/film3072 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:56:41 +0000 23380 When Velvet and her mother are sitting and talking in the attic, her mother pours some gold coins into Velvet's lap. Velvet is sitting back on her feet, but a few seconds later, she raises up on her knees to hug her mother. The coins should go spilling everywhere, but we never see or hear them. 26092 At one point towards the end of the Grand National, the horses are seen running the wrong way around the track - clockwise, instead of counterclockwise. 31505 When Velvet is standing with Mr. and Mr. Edes after they catch the Pie at the beginning, from one angle both her hands are on the bridle, but from the reverse angle, her left hand is on the Pie's muzzle. 44516 When Velvet is talking to her mother in the bedroom, her mother puts her hand on top of Velvet's hands. But in the next few shots, her hand is on Velvet's wrist, and Velvet's hands go from being one on top of the other to folded from shot to shot. 45882 When Velvet falls off the Pie, the position in which the stunt double lands on the ground doesn't match the position Elizabeth Taylor is in when it cuts to her rolling to a stop.
