Goofs

GEOG: In the opening shot, a train carrying Charlotte to London is shown crossing a viaduct in the Scottish Highlands. The viaduct in question is the Glenfinnan viaduct, and in the distance you can see the Glenfinnan Monument to Bonny Prince Charlie. The train is clearly traveling North, away from London. SYNC: There are several train scenes but in most (not all) of them the sound effects, mainly the whistle, are those of North American trains. European steam engines had a very different sound. Even the sound of the tracks is different in Europe because of a different type of roadbed. DATE: In some shots of the departing deportation train, it can clearly be seen that the goods wagons used bear the inscription "UIC St" and a rather long wagon number. Both things belong to the international UIC numbering system, not introduced before 1965. Fact errors: When the resistance near Lesignac are blowing up the ammunition train, the locomotive is clearly shown as a British Standard Class 2-10-0 Number 92240. This class of locomotive was not introduced until 1954 and Number 92240 was not built until 1958. DATE: In the opening shot of the train crossing the viaduct, the coaches are BR Mk1 ones, which were not built until the 1950's yet the interior shots of the train show LNER on the antimacassar, which would be correct. |

Charlotte Gray: There's something I've been meaning to tell you. Julien Levade: What? Charlotte Gray: My name: Charlotte Gray. Psychiatrist: Of these three, which in your view is the most important: Faith, hope or love? Charlotte Gray: Hope. Charlotte Gray: Tomorrow, I'm dirty down there. We'll be together tomorrow when I'm clean, you want me clean right? Renech: If you try to leave. Charlotte Gray: I won't. Renech: I'm not afraid to kill you. Charlotte Gray: Tomorrow. Renech: You will come, I know many people. You understand? Many people! Charlotte Gray: I understand... I understand. Richard Cannerly: I'm a Civil Servant. Sadly, we don't come from anywhere [smiles]. In fact the Germans are spreading the rumour that we're not born at all... Mirabel: [to Charlotte] Do you mind not approaching me in public? I'm rather keen on staying alive. |
