Plot hole: After The Pie runs away and breaks the delivery cart, Velvet jumps on Miss Ada (the family's cart horse) to chase after him. It seems very convenient that Miss Ada, whose only job is to pull the cart, is standing untied in the yard wearing a riding bridle, just waiting for Velvet to jump on.
National Velvet (1944)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Clarence Brown
Starring: Mickey Rooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Donald Crisp, Anne Revere
Continuity mistake: When Velvet and her mother are sitting and talking in the attic, her mother pours some gold coins into Velvet's lap. Velvet is sitting back on her feet, but a few seconds later, she raises up on her knees to hug her mother. The coins should go spilling everywhere, but we never see or hear them.
Mrs. Brown: What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome?
Trivia: "King Charles," the horse that played Velvet's thoroughbred gelding, the "Pie," was a grandson colt of the famous American racehorse, Man O' War. After the movie, "King Charles" was given to Elizabeth Taylor, who played Velvet. She kept him for the rest of his life.
