In the book, Egl only pretends to be a magician and thinks up the scarlet sails to amuse himself even more than Assol, and he barely even thinks whether she'll take his story seriously. In the musical, he does have magic powers, and therefore his prophecy is more accurate (instead of a generic unnamed handsome prince, he specifically mentions a captain named Grey).

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: In the 1961 adaptation, Grey is a hired captain and doesn't own the ''Secret'', since it wouldn't have been proper to have a capitalist as a Soviet romantic hero. However, Grey still refuses expensive cargo and instead buys two kilometres of scarlet silk for the sails. For somebody who doesn't own the ship, it would have most probably led to a loss of the job. Unless, of course, the ship's owner is enough of a romantic to forgive such an escapade, but this is never addressed in the movie.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Egl isn't evil in the book, but he has a case of DidntThinkThisThrough with his prophecy, since he wants to create a beautiful story without properly considering how it would affect Assol. In the musical, he makes the prophecy because he knows it will come true, and, unlike in the book where he only appears once, supports Assol until the ending.
** In the 1982 film adaptation, the entire village of Kaperna reforms in the end, something that never happens in the book. In the last scene featuring it, Menners Jr. hands out toy ships with scarlet sails to the villagers, showing that they have also embraced the ability to think beyond their mundanity.
** Also in the 1982 film, the village children are shown playing with Assol – at which point, Menners Sr. has long died. In the book, after Menners reveals Longren's MurderByInaction on his deathbed, Assol is shunned completely. Although the film also states that the shadow that fell on the father covered the daughter as well, at least we see the children are somewhat friendlier than in the book.

In the book, going to the pawnbroker's through the cold rain was at least Mary’s own decision and she had an alternative (taking some food offered by the neighbour).
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The mundane life scenes are monochrome. Whenever anything out of the ordinary (not necessarily fantastic) appears, it is shown in colour.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Menners Jr. tells Grey that Assol is a madwoman dreaming of a prince under scarlet sails – hoping, it’s implied, to discourage a potential rival. Instead, he achieves the exact opposite. Grey only becomes even more certain Assol is his true love.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Menners Jr. has an unrequited crush on Assol.
* ReformedBully: After being Assol’s main bully in their childhood, Menners Jr. becomes better as they grow up – even before he completely reforms, along with the entire village, in the end. Unlike his counterpart from the musical, he is respectful of her in his attempt at flirting.

''The Scarlet Sails'' (Russian: Алые паруса) is a 1923 novella by Alexander Grin, set in his Literature/{{Grinlandia}} universe in the vaguely European seaside village of Kaperna.
Longren, a sailor, finds out his wife has died while he was at sea: she has given birth to a baby daughter and was struggling to support her, the local innkeeper Menners refused to lend her money, so she went to a pawnbroker in the town during a storm and expired from pneumonia. Longren quits his job to raise Assol and becomes a toymaker. A while later, he sees Menners being carried off to a stormy sea in a boat and calmly stands on the shore; Menners is rescued but lives just long enough to tell the villagers Longren killed him, after which Longren and his daughter become social outcasts.
One day Assol meets a traveling storyteller who tells her that one day, a prince will come to her in a ship with scarlet sails. The dream takes root in Assol's heart, and she believes it firmly afterwards, leading to even more of the villagers' taunts and disdain.
Meanwhile, a rebellious aristocrat Arthur Grey runs off to sea from his oppressive family, and gradually rises from cabin boy to captain. His voyages bring him to Kaperna, where he falls in love with Assol from afar and resolves to make her dream come true.
