Audio problem: When Joanie and Tommy are eating dinner at Betty's home, there's a close-up profile shot of both Joanie and Tommy right before they kiss. Tommy says to Joanie, "Come here you," but his lips don't move.
Mona Lisa Smile (2003)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Mike Newell
Starring: Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, Maggie Gyllenhaal
Factual error: When we hear Doris Day singing "Secret Love" the record we see on the turntable has an RCA Victor label visible/readable. Doris Day songs were released on Columbia Records.
Joan Brandwyn: You gave me a C.
Katherine Watson: I'm kind.
Joan Brandwyn: The assignment was to write about Bruegel. That's what I did.
Katherine Watson: No, what you did was copy Strauss.
Joan Brandwyn: I was referencing an expert.
Katherine Watson: If I wanted to know what he thought, I'd buy his book.
Trivia: In one scene, Julia Roberts takes her students to see a painting by Jackson Pollock. Julia's co-star Marcia Gay Harden won her Academy Award playing Pollock's wife in the movie "Pollock," opposite Ed Harris, who incidentally played Julia's boyfriend/fiancé in "Stepmom." (00:45:20)
Question: Do the hats the girls wear symbolise anything? Do the colour and numbers show different years or houses?
