Other mistake: Near the end of the film, Charlotte and her mother (Mrs. Flax) are having a blazing row. Mrs Flax calls Charlotte 'the town tramp', and Charlotte retaliates by telling her that the town already has one. This results in Charlotte receiving a huge slap. This slap would leave her cheek as red as a tomato, but as the scene continues, there isn't a mark on her face. A tad unrealistic?.

Revealing mistake: Toward the end when Charlotte and Joe are about to make love, it shows him lifting the hem of her black slip. But in the next cut they are kissing again with her slip still on.
Rachel Flax: Charlotte, I know you're planning a celibate life, but with half my chromosomes, I think that might be tough.
