Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Movie Goof (continuity error): They harvest an entire field of corn between the two of them, when they get back to the barn, the crop is suddenly wheat. They go through the whole "separating the wheat from the chaff" process, and pour the seed into sacks.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): Corn plants shown in the film were spaced only inches apart. In the 1920's each plant was spaced much further apart. Horse drawn planters used "planting chains" anchored at ends of each row so the distance between each row would equal the distance between each plant.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): Even without the use of a mechanical thresher, Inge and Olav would have had horse-drawn machinery to harvest and thresh corn in the 1920s. Harvesting corn by hand scythe and threshing it by hand are outdated techniques by the year 1880, much less 1920.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): Inge, in the latter half of the movie, is wearing black Dansko clogs. They were not available at the time of this story.
