Deliberate mistake: When the family first entry Three Chimneys they have a single lamp as a light source. Entering from the door at the rear of the shot, everything in front of them should be in darkness to the viewer, but it's lit. Things in the background are lit even though there would be no line of sight to the light source. This is because lighting was added on set to allow the viewer to see things better, even though it ruined the realism.
Revealing mistake: When the 3 children are waiting for their mother, the rain is pouring down. Yet, when they are gathered around the Russian guy on the floor, their clothes are dry.
Phyllis Waterbury: I don't think we're going to enjoy being poor, you know, being cold and all that.
Bobbie Waterbury: Phyllis try to imagine it as an adventure, all sorts of things might happen.
