Factual error: During the first scenes of the film the Greek flag used is the current one, and not the one used at that time. The flag that should have been used is a white cross on blue.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)
Directed by: John Madden
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale, John Hurt, Penélope Cruz, Irene Papas
Continuity mistake: When Cage is talking to Cruz for the second time, Cruz's hair changes shape. There's also dirt on her shoulder which disappears in the next shot.
Factual error: The movie is set in 1943, yet the characters in one scene are talking about Rome having fallen to the Allied Forces. That didn't occur until April of 1944.
Trivia: Whenever Nicholas Cage had to fall over, he had to be lowered down on a harness onto a crash mat because he hates falling over.
Corelli: The other night when you were dancing the way you were moving the turn of your head. I thought I could watch you forever.
Pelagia: You think you can come here and turn my whole world upside down?
Corelli: I have always found something in life worth singing about and for that I cannot apologize.
Corelli: Do you miss me?
Pelagia: So much that I can't sleep at night.
