Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • SPOILER: In the book, Villefort is publicly humiliated by the exposure of old crimes. He later goes insane, and Dantes leaves him that way.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Edmund and Abbe are crawling through the tunnel. Abbe's breath blows out his candle as he is talking to Edmund. The camera switches to Edmund as they are talking then back to Abbe. The candle is alight. Yet no sound of striking match or tinderbox can be heard.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): When Edmond returns from Elba he is promoted to Captain of the Phareon (sic). Later, when meeting Abbe Faria in prison, he asks the priest if he would teach him to read and write. This is incongruous as a ship's Captain of the early 1800's (or for any period for that matter) would have been well educated by any standards for purposes of keeping the ship's log, maintaining manifests and bills of lading as well as being able to read a map and to navigate. Often in more than one language. No ship's owner would entrust command of his ship to an uneducated sailor.
  • Despite the fact that this was filmed in the standard spherical format, "Filmed in Panavision" is listed in the end credits.
