Trivia

The exterior scenes at Robert's residence were shot at the Paterno, an elegant apartment building known for its long curved facade and its elaborate arched 'porte-cochère' at the front entrance. The Paterno is located across from the Colosseum (now owned by Columbia U.), another curved Riverside apartment building (albeit smaller), both down the street from Barnard College and Columbia U.

Mistake Continuity: When Giselle opens the window in Robert’s apartment, in the exterior shot, to sing for furry cleaning help, there is a set of three windows to her right, with a balcony. Odd thing is, in the interior shots the window she sang from is to the left of the couch, but to the right of the couch there are three French doors, not windows, that open to the balcony.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: At Robert’s apartment, when he and Morgan stand by the window just as Edward takes Giselle’s hands and later kneels, the actors’ two T-marks are visible. The pink marker was for Giselle in the previous shots, and Robert and Morgan stand behind the yellow marker. (Only visible on fullscreen DVD.)

Mistake Factual error: When animated Giselle begins to sing and brushes her hair, the reflection of her “one true love” is visible in the mirror. Problem is that its image is not reversed in the reflection.

Mistake Continuity: After the turtle gives animated Giselle the red rose, she places it on the jacket of her “one true love”. In the following shots, the rose repeatedly disappears and then reappears, particularly in the close-ups.

Mistake Other: In his search of Giselle, when Edward knocks on doors 209 (hissing cat), 405 (barking dog), and 714 (strange guy), the funny thing is that in all three close-ups the three door jambs/trim have the same paint glob markings. The actual doors were changed, but the jamb/trim remained the same for all three shots. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: At the apartment, after Giselle falls asleep on the couch, when Robert says, “Just because she has on a funny dress, doesn’t mean she’s a princess,” and a few shots later, when he stands to call for a taxi, the side of the camera and the boom mic are reflected in the window to Robert‘s right. The boom mic moves in both shots, but the camera moves only in the second. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.)

Mistake Continuity: During her first morning at Robert’s apartment, Giselle has made a gown out of the living room draperies, but the remaining drapes on the windows are a very faded turquoise floral and the color of Giselle’s dress material is a bright turquoise floral, which is actually more similar in color to the lamp on the table.

Mistake Continuity: When Giselle tosses the sword and the tip catches Robert’s sleeve below the cuff, in the following shots the position of its point through the sleeve keeps differing. Then, after Robert loses his grip and Giselle breaks his fall, as they both start to slide Robert’s sleeve is intact, but in the next shot the entire sleeve suddenly disappears.

Mistake Continuity: When Robert gets up in the morning to deal with the pest problem he has facial stubble, but when he gets outside after chasing Nancy in his pyjamas, he is nearly clean shaven. When he goes back to the apartment his heavy stubble is back again.

Mistake Continuity: During the cleanup, when Giselle opens the center French doors and stands on the balcony to sing, the window she sang from earlier is directly beside the balcony, to the right. The problem here is, in the interior shots there is a wall that is about 7-8 ft wide, between the French doors and window, where the couch is.

Mistake Continuity: When Giselle falls off the billboard platform, as she hangs onto the ledge in the close-ups the metal surface is completely dry, whereas everything else is wet from the pouring rain. There is no canopy protecting the platform.

Mistake Continuity: When the animated old hag pushes Giselle into the well, as Giselle begins to transform her only jewelry is a necklace, but when she lands on the manhole cover she is also wearing earrings.

Mistake Factual error: At the Kings and Queens Ball, the bandleader announces that the next dance will be a waltz, which are, by definition, played in 3/4 time. However the tune that is played is clearly in 4/4 time and thus is not a waltz.

Mistake Continuity: At Bella Notte's, there is a pizza pie on table, whose characteristics such as sauce, crust, dough bubbles, three basil leaves, etc., change from the start of this scene to when it is hurled like a frisbee.

Mistake Continuity: When Giselle stands on the livingroom coffee table as she sings, the hutch stands about a foot away from the fireplace mantle behind her. When she tosses the flowers into the vase, which sits upon the fireplace mantle, the hutch is so close that it nearly touches the mantle.

Mistake Continuity: At Bella Notte's, after Robert entertains Giselle with the magic trick, the salt shaker is on the table between them and the pepper shaker is at the opposite end of the table, beside Morgan's plate. When Nathaniel brings the apple martini both shakers are beside Morgan's plate, though nobody touched the salt.

Mistake Revealing: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side.

Mistake Continuity: When Giselle gives the doves the heart shaped wreath to deliver to Nancy, as they fly off both sides of the wreath are seen. When Nancy thanks Robert for the flowers, the blooms differ.

Mistake Continuity: When Giselle tells the old man that things such as a smile could lift her spirits, her tiara is placed normally on her head. After the brief close-up of the man’s toothless grin, Giselle’s tiara is now positioned forward, to make it easier for the man to snatch.

Mistake Continuity: In animated Giselle’s home, there is a tree-stump table directly in front of the fireplace, with art brushes, etc upon it. The table disappears when all the little furry animals are flying out of the fireplace.
