Directed by: Stephen Frears

Continuity mistake: When Florence first falls asleep and has her wig and eyelashes taken off, her head keeps changing positions between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Florence ends her Valkyrie routine she raises her head; angle changes and it's back to lowered, and she raises it again.
Factual error: A 1950 Chevrolet and a 1950 Oldsmobile can be seen in street scenes in this supposedly 1944-set movie.
St Clair Bayfield: No mockers and no scoffers.
Question: Every time Florence would perform before a live audience, people would respond by either laughing at her or booing at her. With these kinds of reactions, how could Florence not realise that it was because nobody liked her singing and that they considered her a terrible singer?
Answer: People believe what they want to believe and can have an uncanny ability to filter out anything negative or unwanted. Eventually, she realised the truth.

Also, Florence's friends and supporters protected her and would do whatever they could at the concerts to suppress any audience member who reacted negatively.
