Miscellaneous Movie Musings

What I don't understand, is how they can have done the research to include a few obscure historical references; but have been so bone-headedly stupid on everything else!

ETA: Several desks were made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute. One is in the Oval Office; the movie got that correct. A small ladies writing desk was made for Queen Victoria, but it's not in Buckingham Palace. It's at Osborne House (another of Victoria's homes), and is in no way, shape, or form a twin to the one in the White House.
