Continuity mistake: Travers rides in a stretch limousine and Ralph, her driver, always puts her in the seat farthest back at the rear window. However, whenever she is seen inside the vehicle, she is sitting right behind Ralph, and easily reaches over and slides shut the window between the front seat and the back, even though there should be a wide space between where she is sitting and the driver's seat.
Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: John Lee Hancock
Starring: Tom Hanks, Colin Farrell, Emma Thompson, Ruth Wilson
Factual error: When Mrs. Travers arrives at the airport, there's a driver holding a name-card with a Warner Bros. Television logo on it. It's a far more modern version of the logo, however - in fact, the word 'Television' didn't appear in the ribbon across the shield until 1994. (00:10:10)
P.L. Travers: I will not have her called Cynthia, absolutely not. It feels unlucky. It should be something warm, a bit sexy. How about Mavis?
Trivia: Tom Hanks is the first actor to play Walt Disney in a mainstream feature film.
Question: Who is Mr Banks in the film saving Mr Banks?
