Corrected entry: When Evita stays at Peron's mansion for the first time, she takes a glove she's been wearing all evening off and places it on the bed. Yet, when we see the next shot of the glove, it looks perfectly ironed flat and immaculate, like it's never been worn.
Evita (1996)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Alan Parker
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Pryce, Madonna, Jimmy Nail
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, the priest hands Evita a goblet of wine. Before she can drink, she faints. the goblet drops to the floor but it is empty. (01:45:50)
Suggested correction: I'm sorry but the goblet is not empty. When she drops it on the floor you can see a small splash of a dark coloured liquid on the marble floor of the church. People may assume that there should be more visible liquid from the goblet but if Evita was the only one taking of the wine, then there would be only a small amount inside the goblet.
Eva Perón: Don't cry for me, Argentina.
Trivia: Madonna has 140 spoken words of dialogue, and Antonio Banderas only has six. The rest of their lines are sung.
Question: What does the Latin chant in "Oh What a Circus" translate to? (The "salve regina" bit?)
Answer: As I recall they sing the English right after the Latin, but, in any case, it's a variation of a well known Gregorian Chant. The English from the movie is: Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy / Our life, sweetness, and hope / Hail, hail, oh queen / To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve / To you we sigh, mourning and weeping / Oh clement, oh loving one.

Correction: You're talking about the first glove that is dropped, but look as she removes her second glove...pause it just right and you can see that it is also uncreased, even though she is seen removing it. It's very plausible that the glove could land on the bed and look unworn.
