The Great Santini (1979)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Lewis John Carlino
Starring: Blythe Danner, Lisa Jane Persky, Michael O'Keefe, Robert Duvall
Genres: Drama
Deliberate mistake: After having wrestled with Santini in his office, Col. Virgil Hedgepath tells Santini, "And no more assaulting corporals in the latrine." Marines use the naval term "head" in refering to the restroom, and would never call it "the latrine." However, since "latrine" is better known to civilians, this could be a deliberate mistake by the film makers.
