Goofs

Continuity: About 2/3 of the way into the movie, after Lady Denby exits the cabin to come out on deck, she is standing next to, and then directly behind Jamie. She is standing so close as to be touching him. The camera angle then changes to show her at least a foot behind Jamie, no longer touching him. See more »

Quotes

Jamie: I always sample a bottle of wine before I buy it. Let's have a sip, see if you're worth taking along.
