Trivia
The green linen coat with pink flowers at the waist Amanda Hale (Mary Musgrove) wears on the long walk to Winthrop is the same costume Lucy Davis (Maria Lucas) wears leaving Hunsford in Pride and Prejudice (1995), Daisy Haggard (Anne Steele) wears in London in Sense & Sensibility (2008), and Morven Christie (Jane Bennet) wears at Longbourn in Lost in Austen (2008).

The sage-green Spencer jacket Sally Hawkins wears as Anne Elliot in the film's final scene is the same garment Amanda Root wears as Anne Elliot in the street in Bath in Persuasion (1995). The jacket is also worn by an extra at the salon in Byron (2003).

The white gown with black polka dots worn by Rosamund Stephen (Henrietta Musgrove) is the same costume worn by Susannah Harker (Jane Bennet) in Pride and Prejudice (1995), Olivia Williams (Jane Fairfax) in Emma (1996), and Tanya Samuel in The Regency House Party (2004).

On the walk to Winthrop, as the camera focuses on Ann overhearing Frederick and Louisa's conversation, a crew member with a red jacket is seen in the background (at around 38 mins) behind her.

The statue outside the entrance to Kellynch Hall is obvious when Sir Walter Eliot is departing, but a minute later it is missing when Anne departs.

Quotes
Anne Elliot: Captain... Captain. Are you going?
Share this
Sir Walter Elliot: I must say, though, the worst of Bath is the number of plain women. I frequently observe that one pretty face would be followed by five and thirty frights.
Share this
Captain Wentworth: I imagined myself indifferent to her but I was only angry and resentful. Too late... too late I began to understand myself and her. Never have I met her equal in good sense or sweetness of character. She's perfection itself. I've never loved any but her.
