Goofs
When Helen tells Joe that she's pregnant, Joe's suspenders are at one moment on his shoulders and the next moment off when he embraces her.
Share this
Towards the end of the film when Mr. Page picks up the photo of Nobbs' mother, he looks at the front of the photograph, then turns it to read the word "mother" on the verso. Then a long shot reveals he is holding the photo with the picture facing him again even though he was not shown turning it again.
