Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) More at IMDbPro »

• Continuity: Toward the end of the film, Anne uses wooden markers of one-hundred each to count her days as queen. However, she counts out only 9 markers, or only 900 days.
  
  
• Anachronisms: There is a report that one of the beefeaters has "EIIR" (signifying Queen Elizabeth II) on his tunic.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: When Henry and Anne are playing chess, the chess board is set up improperly. The chess board has a black square in the lower right square. That square must be white.
  
  

• Anachronisms: When Ann's "lover" is being tortured he screams out clearly showing metal fillings that did not exist in the 16th century.
  
  
• Factual errors: In one scene Mary and her mother Catherine of Aragon are talking, it is very obvious that Anne is Queen. When Anne was Queen, Mary and her mother were forbidden to see each other, yet the movie shows Catherine and Mary talking about Henry and Anne's marriage.
  
  
• Factual errors: In a few scenes in the movie - when Anne and Henry bicker about the Act of Succession and when Anne and Elizabeth are playing before Anne's arrest are two - there is paneling on the walls, the problem with the paneling being that they are carvings of Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Howard's badges. Now one could understand that Catherine of Aragon's may have still been up but Catherine Howard didn't have a badge then, she was just a young girl.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Irene Papas is Greek by origin. Thus, she is Orthodox Christian. But when she acted the role of Katherine, it is supposed to be Spanish and Catholic Christian. When she entered the court and sweared by making the cross on her chest, she did it in the Orthodox way, using the three fingers not the whole palm if her right hand.
