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 - chronological order
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.
Staunton's Secretary: I was in California once. How do you get any work done with all that sunshine?
Katherine Watson: We tan in class.
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?
Answer: The colour change every year and the number is the year they finish (Joan's hat says 54 and their last year is 1954 as Nancy says around new year.)
