Continuity mistake: After Beethoven pulls his nephew out of the tavern and yells that he is worthless, Beethoven is seen doubling over in pain. When the shot cuts to Karl, Beethoven is in the background, standing up straight, and doubles over again.
Immortal Beloved (1994)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Bernard Rose
Starring: Gary Oldman, Isabella Rossellini, Jeroen Krabbe, Johanna ter Steege
Factual error: Despite all the wonderful period instruments, particularly pianos, in this film, the sound coming out of them is that of a modern grand piano, which sounds nothing like the lighter instruments of the time.
Anton Felix Schindler: There can be no peace without the truth.
Trivia: Beethoven never mentioned during his lifetime who was his "Immortal Beloved." The long-debated riddle of her identity was solved beyond reasonable doubt in 1977 by an American musicologist. The woman was identified as Antonie Brentano (1790-1869), the wife of a Frankfurt merchant and a mother of four.
