Corrected entry: In the morning scene where the shadow moves to point the way to the opening of the canyon; it is moving away from the rock that makes the shadow. It should be getting shorter not longer.

Correction: Actually, the morning sun reflected off of the quartz deposit would cause the shadow to get longer as time progresses. I tried it. The writers are correct.

Continuity mistake: In the final scene, after escaping the earthquake, you can see Camilla Sparv jumping across a gap with her horse shortly followed by Gregory Peck. You can see the clouds changing very fast within a split second. (01:57:30)

Question: I thought sunglasses weren't invented until the late 1920s?

Answer: Have to say, I have not seen movie, but to answer your question, one of the earliest surviving depictions of a person wearing sunglasses is of the scientist Antoine Lavoisier in 1772.
