Wardrobe Glitches in Movies You May Have Missed

In the 1983 film The Color Purple, set in 1916, a noticeable oversight occurs with Danny Glover Albert’s character, Albert, wearing a clip-on tie. However, clip-on ties weren’t invented until 1928, creating a distinct timeline discrepancy in the film’s portrayal of historical accuracy.

Despite this error, the film, directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, remains a poignant and powerful exploration of race, gender, and identity in early 20th-century America. Its compelling narrative and stellar performances continue to resonate with audiences, highlighting the importance of storytelling in cinema.
