Factual error: The movie is set in 1922, but the women's clothes are more along the line of 1928, with a strong 1960's influence. For an accurate depiction of 1922 fashion, refer to Season 4 of Downton Abbey.
Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
1 factual error
Directed by: George Roy Hill
Starring: Julie Andrews, James Fox, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Channing
Continuity mistake: Millie's beads have a mind of their own. They do not stay in place even when she is standing still. Besides the funny scene during the title credits (when it is deliberate), and when Miss Dorothy registers, they also move during a scene when Millie displays her thoughts on Miss Dorothy's beads when the two of them go into the elevator for the first time.
Muzzy Van Hossmere: Myself, I prefer to sleep in the all-together.
Trivia: During the title sequence, as Millie is buying a pack of cigarettes from a vendor, her undergarment breaks. The vendor stares at her in surprise, and she does a slight curtsy and walks away. When the film was originally released, that was followed by a quick shot of the vendor looking down and seeing Millie's broken undergarment lying on the sidewalk, but for some unknown reason, that shot has been deleted.
