* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Charles is quite harsh at times towards both Caroline and the girls compared to his attitude in the series. Again, this is more in line with his book version.

* {{Dramatization}}: Although true to the books, several aspects of the movie are dramatized, particularly the dynamic between Charles and Caroline Ingalls. Although the real-life Charles and Caroline were loyal and faithful to one another in real life, their relationship had a hierarchy more typical of the post-Civil War era than the contemporary husband-wife relationship seen in the movie … and later, the series.
