“The Pianist” Goofs List

• Continuity: When Szpilman crawls past the woman who was shot in the back and died kneeling in front of the hospital (before she reached the staircase), she has moved forward visibly (and is now in front of the stairs).
• Anachronisms: When Szpilman is playing in the closing scenes, the piano’s logo “Steinway & Sons” is the modernized style that came into use in the 1990s.
• Continuity: When Szpilman is crossing the bridge, the same extra (wearing the glasses) passes him twice, in the space of two shots.
• Anachronisms: When “the pianist” goes to his friend of last resort for help it is deep winter in Poland with snow. On the table in his friends flat is a bunch of fresh yellow roses. How do you get roses in mid-winter wartime Poland? Also, the following morning the roses have mysteriously changed to apricot-colored roses.
• Continuity: The tin of gherkins Szpilman finds in the destroyed house changes size between shots.
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Szpilman’s father is slapped by the German officer, the officer is obviously wearing gloves which should not have made a sharp sound.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The bayonet used by the German sergeant to open the sack of beans is not German issue. It appears to be a Turkish Model 1890 bayonet. However, in war it is common to use a weapon stolen or bought from another country.
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: There is a scene in which Szpilman is walking in formation along the street with a group of Jewish workmen. A German officer selects various men and then executes them one by one by shooting them in the head. As the last man is shot. The hollow sound of a spent shell casing striking the ground is heard. Instead of an empty shell, a complete cartridge with the bullet is shown falling to the ground.
• Anachronisms: The infamous Sports Palace speech by Josef Goebbels (18th February 1943) is heard on the radio in 1939.
• Continuity: When Szpilman is told he has to leave the first apartment he’s hiding in, his hair is parted and hanging down either side of his face. In the next shot, when he sits down to try to smoke the cigarette, his hair is combed back with no part visible.
• Continuity: When Szpilman is forced to leave his first hiding place after breaking the dishes, he has significant stubble on his face. However, when he reached Dorota’s apartment in the next scene, he’s clean shaven.
