In the opening scene, Captain Blamey can be seen cantering along the coast on a horse. At this point the horse is wearing a standing martingale so as to keep his head at a level where he can be controlled by the actor. However, a moment later in another shot, as the horse comes to a stop and Captain Blamey dismounts and holds the horse, the standing martingale is nowhere to be seen.
When Ross goes to Trenwith to talk to Frances he walks in, takes his gloves off, moves around the chair and takes his gloves off again.
