Confused about time line


When Mildred and Philip first met, she said she was 24. And all through the movie I was under the impression a few years had gone by. Even at the end Philip talked about being free after so many years. But on Mildred's hospital chart it gave her age as 25, which means just one year had passed. Philip coulodn't have completed medical school in one year. And it also doesn't jibe when Mildred tells Philip the baby died last summer. Am I missing something?

Yea, they are missing a continuity girl, who was probably asleep. They messed up big time.

She does strike me as the type to lie about her age though, so I wouldn't be surprised if thats possible. I mean, I'm sure this isn't what they had in mind during the movie (def an oversight!) but its a viable excuse imo.
