Revealing mistake: When Dani goes to meet Cort after dark to go swimming, you can plainly see it's daylight out because the sun is shining.
The Man in the Moon (1991)
Directed by: Robert Mulligan
Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Sam Waterston, Jason London, Gail Strickland, Tess Harper
Continuity mistake: After Dani was "skinny dipping" in the lake she is seen on the bank watching Court swim. She is supposed to be nude, but the actress is wearing a white cloth over her breasts. Its top is visible when she kisses Court.
Factual error: While the movie is set in 1957, photos of Elvis attached to a wall were taken in the mid 1960s. The orange shirt shot is from Girl Happy, 1965 and the black and white shot below it is from Roustabout, 1964.
Dani: I wanna know you.
Court Foster: You do know me.
Dani: I wanna know you more... I wanna know you all I can.
Court Foster: What do you wanna know?
Dani: I wanna know... your hopes.
Court Foster: Well... I hope your boobs will get bigger and your butt will fill out.
Court Foster: Have you ever been kissed before?
Dani: Sure. Lots of times.
Court Foster: Yeah... I'll bet. Well you just almost got yourself more than kissed, little girl.
Dani: I'm not a little girl.
Court Foster: You are too Dani! You're a little girl and you don't know what you're doing.
Matthew Trant: She's getting too big to be running around wild as a jack rabbit.
Abigail Trant: It used to be she was too little, and now she's too big. I guess she passed up just right when nobody was lookin'.
