Continuity mistake: The rope that pulls Ada down is much longer than the one that ties her shoe to the piano when it's sitting on the ground. (00:48:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Before the piano gets thrown overboard Ada holds her hand into the water. In close up the water is perfectly still while in all wider shots it's quite choppy. (01:46:30)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Ada and Baines leave the island the Maoris pull the heavy canoe with the piano on top across the beach into the water. From the tracks in the sand you can tell that it runs on wheels. (01:44:35)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Ada and Baines make love and Stewart peeps through a crack in the wall he puts his ear to the wood, not his eye. (01:13:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Stewart has a heated argument with a group of Maoris over some land deal, a guy with two feathers in his hair appears in front of him between shots. (01:06:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During one of the piano lessons, Baines tries to force Ada to lie on the bed next to him. When she tries to leave, he holds her back, pulls her blouse down about the shoulders, and it tears in the back. When she gets up later, the blouse is whole again. (00:52:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Baines has his first 'piano lesson' Flora asks to be allowed in. Ada declines, and when she goes back in the house her playing starts immediately when she closes the door, way before she could have walked to the piano and sat down. (00:40:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Baines takes Ada and Flora to the shore, the girl builds a large and beautifully decorated seashell seahorse on the sand. To do this, she had to work from all around, but on one side the sand is pristine (and the sea is too far to have straightened it out). (00:23:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The stains on Stewart's top hat have a different pattern when he reaches the shore where Ada and Flora are waiting. (00:11:40)

NancyFelix

Factual error: After its trip over the ocean on which it got soaked with moisture the piano is amazingly well in tune, only later, at Baines' place, it sounds a little bit off. (00:07:30 - 00:32:20)
