 The Grey Havens scene had to be shot three times, much to the dismay  of the actors, who had to be crying for most of the scene. On the  first try, it was discovered in viewing the dailies that  Sean Astin (qv) was wearing the wrong shirt under his cloak. After  shooting the scene a second time, the negatives were inadvertently  exposed to light during processing, causing a white haze over the  entire days footage. It was finally captured successfully on the  third try.
