Corrected entry: When Lucy is first kissed by George Emerson he first grabs her by her head and then her waist. When she thinks back to this moment he only grabs her by the waist.

1 corrected entry
Directed by: James Ivory
Starring: Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Denholm Elliott, Julian Sands
Factual error: When Lucy and Charlotte are discussing the view from their rooms, Charlotte says they were to have South facing rooms with a view of the Arno and instead got North facing rooms without a view. Later when they have Rooms with a View - their view across the Arno faces North! The Duomo is on the north side of the Arno. (00:02:50 - 00:10:25)
Cecil Vyse: I have no profession. My attitude - quite an indefensible one - is that as long as I am no trouble to anyone, I have the right to do as I like. It is, I dare say, an example of my decadence.
Question: In the scene in Florence with the two fighting Italians, does one of them die? In one shot he is still moving his jaw, in another shot he seems rather motionless.
Answer: It's unknown if he survived or not, nor is it important to the film's plot. The scene is about how witnessing a violent act affects Lucy. The entire trip to Italy has a powerful effect on her personality, opening her to new emotions and sensations that she's never experienced before, having lived a rather pleasant though constricted and conventional life in England.

Correction: The second time we see this, it is as a memory, and memories are seldom exactly accurate. As such, this is a mistake on Lucy's part.
