Humorous anachronisms

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2000)

I'm sure most of the errors and anachronisms commented on by others were included deliberately as jokes, e.g. the modern souvenir mug in Will's lodgings, the "psychiatrist's couch", the boatmen echoing the kind of thing that taxi-drivers reportedly say to actors... It all adds to the delightful humour of the film, which sets off the genuinely touching love story; and there's enough authentic period detail and dialogue to make it more than just a spoof. I loved it.
