Other mistake: When Eliza throws the slippers at Higgins, one bounces off him and falls in the area of the doorway and the other lands in the middle of the hall. One slipper is seen in the hall in two different scenes, then when Higgins goes to pick them up they are both together in the hall.

Directed by: George Cukor
Starring: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway
Continuity mistake: The white carnations in the vase on the piano (Higgin's study) move around from shot to shot during the scene immediately after the Embassy ball.
Landlady: ...and what things does she want? Her bird cage and her Chinese fan. But she says, never mind about sending any clothes.
Trivia: Rex Harrisson also played Henry Higgins on broadway. He wanted Julie Andrews for Eliza as well, since she had also played Eliza on broadway. (Julie didn't get the role obviously, but did play Mary Poppins that year, and won the Best Actress Oscar).
Question: The song, "Get Me To The Church On Time," mentions "roll up the floor." What does that mean?

Answer: It just means put away (roll up) the dance floor so that he won't be distracted with dancing when he has to be at the church on time.
