Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie

Ross you do have a good point. The stairwell ESPECIALLY was just ridiculous...it really did look (to me) as if they had just found this ol house and decided to use it as is.
I lived out in the country in houses that were so old they didn't even have inside toilets that didn't look that bad..and I was born in the sixties.
the cross though would have been normal for a pentecostal home...just surprised to see nothing else in the house...way too bare

You have a two-holer like my grandparents' place, Jess? ;D (And they lived in town! :laugh: )

Thanks for that 'bout the cross, little darlin'. I'm not really familiar with that tradition--thought perhaps something with a cross was too "Catholic." My mother was raised in a small denomination that eventually became part of the United Methodist Church. My grandparents had stuff like inexpensive, kitschy reproductions of "The Last Supper," but no crosses.

Yes indeed, The concept/look they used looks very contrived and looks like a set and not realistic like someones home would remotely look like in the early 1980s, thats what bugs me really.

Well, backing away from the Twist house for a moment, I'll mention something else that I consider a production mistake.
I've said this before, elsewhere. It only makes a difference to a train lover like me ;D , but that freight train that passes Ennis while he's waiting outside Joe Aguirre's office, and that we then see move off into the distance as Jack's pickup approaches, should have had a caboose on the end of it. In the U.S. in 1963, freight trains still had cabooses.

You're right, In fact, I think I read that someplace else Jeff. There are quite a few errors in the movie but I think all movies have errors, don't they?
