Factual error: Someone forgot to cover the air conditioners in the opening number of "Hello, Dolly!" which is set before the turn of the 20th century. (00:02:59)
Hello Dolly! (1969)
1 picture
Directed by: Gene Kelly
Starring: Walter Matthau, Barbra Streisand, Michael Crawford, Marianne McAndrew
Continuity mistake: When Cornelius meets the girl in the red dress and they dance and sing outdoors on the street, her dress is dragging on the pavement and the hem is clearly filthy. The next scene they arrive at the restaurant and her dress is clean and pressed.
Ambrose Kemper: This doesn't concern Mrs. Levi.
Dolly Levi: Everything concerns Mrs. Levi, Mr. Kemper.
Trivia: Three costumes were made for Streisand for the "Hello Dolly" number at the Harmonia Gardens. They are identical except for the length of the train. As she enters she has the dress with the full train. During the number the train "shortens" twice to enable the dance steps, particularly the backsteps, to be performed and for the last few bars she is back to the full train original dress.
Question: How does the movie actually end? Do Dolly and Horace go into the Church to get married?
