Corrected entry: The red truck is shown to have 1991 license plates, although the film is set in the 1960's. Also near the end, when Meryl Streep is riding in her husband's truck through town, many modern cars are seen in the background through the truck window.

Continuity mistake: When we first see her drive her truck it is dark blue or gray but when she meets him at the bridge it is white.

Suggested correction: The first time Francesca is driving the truck, it is the white one, when she drives at night to leave the note at the bridge. There's a shot later of a blue truck, but that is Robert Kinkaid's as he is driving to the Roseman bridge the next day. Francesca meets him there, driving the white truck. Also, the Johnsons have multiple vehicles, including at least two pickup trucks and a car.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
Continuity mistake: Driving to the bridge the landscape (a farm with a red and a yellow house) in the background (behind Meryl Streep) is seen twice. And many of the houses seen through Meryl's truck window are modern, not old farm houses. (00:21:35 - 00:22:45)

Suggested correction: The flashback scenes are set in 1965. The houses seen in the background are either older farm houses or more modern ones consistent with mid-20th century architecture. In the Post WWII era, there was significant economic and population growth, along with increased construction (including in rural areas), with new homes being built in among older houses.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
Corrected entry: When Meryl Streep opens the letter from the lawyer, she removes the cross from the envelope twice.
Correction: She doesn't remove it twice. She takes it out and keeps it tucked in her palm while looking at Robert's book, then removes her glasses. When she goes to put her glasses back on, the envelope is still in her hand, tipping downward. She slightly shakes the glasses once to flip open one arm that is folded down so she can put them back on, although it looks like she's shaking something out of the envelope, but she is not. The cross is still in her hand the entire time.
Correction: There's a clear shot of the plate where you can see "65" in the corner for the year. The left side reads "61", but that's the pattern, not the issue year. The plate looks to be "562S7." 1991 used the ABC-123 pattern. Although I don't think 1965 used letters, but I can't be certain.
