Continuity mistake: When the female Police Constable is about to leave the house, her tie is loose. The camera angle then cuts to her just before she gets into the police car and her tie is nice and tight.
Vera Drake (2004)
Directed by: Mike Leigh
Starring: Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, Eddie Marsan, Richard Graham, Anna Keaveney, Heather Craney
Continuity mistake: While Vera is seen preparing a pot of tea, there is a loaf of bread on the table. Towards the end of that scene, without her even approaching the table, it has turned slightly.
Other mistake: When the CID turn up at Vera's house, there is an overhead shot of their car parked right outside, sitting in the snow clad road. However there are no tire tracks in the snow, of the car making its approach.
Det. Inspector Webster: You perform abortions, don't you?
Vera: That's not what I do dear. That's what you call it. But they need help. Who else they got to turn to? No one. I help them out.
Reg: It don't seem fair. Look at my mom: six of us in two rooms. It's all right if you're rich, but if you can't feed them, you can't love them, can you?
Vera: I reckon that Reg would make a good husband to some nice girl.
Stan: Where's a bloke like that gonna meet someone?
