color of Maria's bathing suit?


I swear that Maria's bathingsuit and cap were white when she went into the ocean.

When she came out, her bathingsuit was green. Anyone else notice this?

I just watched that scene. The bathing suit is half green and half white, so you see the white half when she's going in and the green half when she's coming out. You can see the 2 colors on her back briefly when she comes out of the ocean.

I submitted this as a continuity goof in October 2006 but it's only just been added to the list of goofs. Here's what I noticed:

In the beach scene at the home of the count, the character of Maria goes for a swim wearing a white bathing suit. When she re-emerges from the water and as she waves to the two characters above on the terrace, the bathing suit is green. Yet a few minutes later when she ascends the stone stairway, her bathing suit is white with a green embroidered pattern.

Bathing suit looks white one side and green the other with an embroidered bit down the middle of the front. You see the front briefly as she walks up the steps.
