Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, and James Garner in The Children's Hour (1961)

Goofs

The Children's Hour

Edit

Continuity

At 38:20, the plaid coat is placed on the bannister but then disappears and changes positions several times.
During the first scene when Dr. Joe Cardin is speaking to Martha, she finishes drying one older pot, then starts on a new pot. There is a cut to a wide shot, and she is still drying the older pot; then, once again, she starts on the new pot.
When Mary is confronted by her grandmother, Mary's arm positions jump from outstretched, limp at her side, and clutching the staircase. She also moves up and down the staircase suddenly.
(At around 9 mins) Mary is on top of her bed covers, then under them, then gets under them.
(At around 38 mins) The plan in the woman's right hand disappears.

Factual errors

Character error

Upon learning that Mrs. Tilford is telling everyone in town she's a lesbian, Martha Dobie (a schoolteacher who should know the difference) threatens to sue her for libel (which pertains to printed defamation of character), rather than slander (oral defamation). However, later in the film, "slander" is used correctly.
