details

• Continuity: The photographer of the calendar shoot used a 35mm camera, yet the proofs are contact prints of medium-format roll-film negatives.
  
  
• Continuity: The flowers behind Annie while she is talking to Marie at home.
  
  
• Continuity: The hospital in which John is treated is variously referred to as Skipton General and Knapely General Hospital.
  
  

• Factual errors: Contrary to the depiction in the film, the proposal for the calendar enjoyed broad support in the Women's Institute organization.
  
  
• Continuity: When Chris gets her pictures back from being developed, the shot of her topless behind the fruit bowl does not match her position when the picture was taken.
  
  
• Continuity: When leaving the hotel for the first time before they get into the limo to go to sign autographs, one of the women takes a camera from the photographer and then, between shots, the camera changes from right hand to left and the right again.
  
  
• Continuity: When Chris runs out of the door to the Hollywood film studio following Annie, she is barefoot. When the shot changes and they emerge into the alleyway behind the studio they are both wearing slippers.
  
  
• Continuity: In the scene where the women are at the pool in LA, the lady who plays the piano at the WI meetings gets up and goes to the piano by the pool. She is in a swimsuit and has her back to us, but she has no tattoo. The tattoo was seen earlier in the movie when she was getting ready to participate in the calendar.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the scene with the press conference, as Chris is making her way to the front, journalists are holding cassette recorders out, as if seeking comment. However, they are playing their recorders, not recording, since the play buttons are pushed, but the red record buttons are not.
  
  
• Continuity: When the leader of the WI comes to visit Annie, she gives her a bunch of Gerberas. When Annie is arranging them in the vase the stems are much longer than the bunch was when it was wrapped.
  
  
• Continuity: When Chris and the girls get off the bus, in front of the church back home after their trip to Hollywood, Chris is wearing stiletto type heels. She stays behind and walks down the street with her husband, but she is now wearing thicker heeled boots. She returns to the WI meeting, and when she is leaving the meeting with Annie, she is back in stiletto heels.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Jem Harper is on the cliff, throwing away the newspapers, you can clearly see in a close-up the safety rope.
