The Unsinkable Molly Brown

Continuity mistake: At Molly's party after returning from Europe, the Duchess is introduced, and everyone bows. The shot shows Molly reaching for her neighbor who's standing straight, to bow down, and she does. Then there is a long shot showing the crowd, and the neighbor is again standing, and then you see Molly reach out for her again as she just had.

Jack's Revenge

Other mistake: Johnny Brown is serenading Molly in the meadow as she sits up on the branch of a tree. In shots where we are looking down on Johnny (from over Molly's shoulder), the shadow of the canopy that protects the actors from the sun can be seen as a perfectly straight line on the ground, behind Johnny. The shaded/unshaded areas move as the canopy shifts in the breeze.

Character mistake: The movie opens with the infant Molly Brown in a basket being swept down a raging river. She crashes and crawls up on the bank. No one else is around. But when the grown-up Molly tells her "pa" that she's going to Denver, she says, "Thank you for pulling me out of the flood."

Molly Brown: Sure I may be tuckered, and I may give out, but I won't give in.
