Corrected entry: Amadeus and Stanzi had six children, only two of whom would reach adulthood. We only see one child, a son, throughout the movie.

Amadeus (1984)
Correction: You think that's a mistake? You may have noticed that, in Amadeus, none of Saleri's children appear. This might fit in with the film script, because, quite early on in the film Salieri shows his determination to devote his life to nothing but music by taking a vow of chastity. In actual fact Salieri was married and had eight children.

Correction: The film is more than two hours long - if it included every event in Mozart's life it would be, well, thirty two years long. Bit long for a film, methinks, like all film biographies we only see a small part of their life. The second child was simply not a part of the action.
