It is funny how many "WW2" films used Land Rovers!! and other clearly post war vehicles.....

It was either the Dambusters or 633 Squadron that had a 1950-odd Fordson Major in the back ground - and I thing the latter also had a Land Rover when they are observing training runs. Tractors are often wrong in films - a bit like the cattle, which are often nice black and white things without horns in war films - most cows I saw in the early 60's, were all sorts of colours and had horns - and I still have the mark on my cheek where one swung her head at the wrong time!
The best "goof" I saw though was a 60's sci-fi that was set in the future - a MkIV Zodiac with an "X" registration! I seem to think the film was rubbish!

If the film's good you don't really notice- well you do, but it doesn't ruin the experience. Quadrophenia for example, set in the sixties, made in the late seventies. They don't appear to have even bothered to try to get the traffic scenes in period, but because it's a good film it doesn't matter, and I would think that most people watching it today would think the cars were correct for the time anyway
