Continuity mistake: After Emmeline has her nightmare about Richard dying, she wakes up, and Richard comes and asks her if she's alright, as he stands in the hut doorway. You can see that it's raining and that the sky is grey and cloudy and you can hear thunder rumbling and can see lightning. It then cuts back to Emmeline, that back to Richard, and the sky is is now blue and the sun is shining bright. (00:47:55)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Emmeline and Richard sit on the beach with their stockings, on the shore behind them you can see a white boat, and there's a long wooden stick leaning against it. But in the all closeups of Richard talking, the stick has disappeared. Then when it goes back to the ending wideshot, it has reappered. (00:29:50 - 00:31:15)

Continuity mistake: When Richard spots Paddy laying on the ground, they sail over to him. As they run up the beach there's hardly any seaweed around Paddy's body. Yet when it cuts there is much more seaweed around him. Also to the right of the screen on the beach, there are some rocks, but when it cuts (in the same shots as the aforementioned mistake) another large rock appears. (00:24:10)
