• Movie Goof (anachronisms): Early on in the film, railroad cars (coal hoppers) are shown. They have Southern Railway markings. In reality the Southern Railway did not operate in eastern KY at that time. They should have had Chesapeake & Ohio markings.
• Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Loretta learns of Patsy Cline's death, when she's hugging Mooney and says her line "Who am I going to talk to now?", her lips don't move.
• During the filming of the funeral for Ted Webb, Levon Helm refused to lie in the casket, as it seemed too morbid to him. To allay Helm's fears, director Michael Apted got into the casket himself and did a few takes to show Helm it was okay. Helm finally agreed to try it once, and the scene was done in one take.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): When Doo and Loretta are in the radio station, after the disc jockey said he had listened to the record, it shows Loretta picking up the envelope and handing it to Doo. He lifts the flap, the scene goes to the disc jockey and in the next scene it pans back to Doo opening the flap again, only this time it's licked and sealed with the metal clasp.
