Visible crew/equipment: The camera searches for Dora whilst Guido plays music through the open window. In her room, you can easily see a cable (from a microphone or a spotlight?) on the left side of the screen.

Continuity: When Giosue comes out of his hiding place at the end he opens the door only wide enough to slide through. When he walks away the door is fully open.

Continuity: When Guido is caught in the spotlight during the liberation of the camp, he climbs down from his hiding place on the wall and falls to the ground. When the guard prods him to stand up the blanket around his waist hangs down to his feet, but when the camera cuts away and back just before he starts walking, it is several inches shorter. When he play marches for Giosuè it is hiked up even farther.

Other: When Giosuè discovers the German boy in the metal box Guido says that his name is Schwarz (Black). The German subtitles translate the name as Schwanz (Tail or - rather - Dick), and that's how both Guido and Giosuè refer to the boy later. Even if the different naming later was intended the first subtitling was too anticipatory.

Continuity: When Guido is trained as a waiter by his uncle the champagne bottle in the cooler not only stands upright for one shot but also its foil cap appears and disappears a number of times.

Continuity: In every scene involving rain, no one ever gets wet. Even in the scene where Guido walks Dora home and she tells him he is wet, the water just beads up on his right shoulder. Wouldn't he/his clothes have been soaked, given how hard it was raining?

Revealing: When Guido and Ferrucio spot the publisher sitting in a café she is studying a manuscript while holding it sideways.

Continuity: At Dora's engagement party the dancers get showered with large confetti. When Guido drops the candy tray the first time the pattern of confetti on Dora's head changes completely.

Continuity: When Dora kisses Guido under the table the way she tilts her head changes from right to left between shots.

Continuity: When the two plain-clothes policemen take Guido from the bookstore Giosuè is sitting at the table with both arms on top. When the camera angle changes his left arm is under the table, but in the next shot both arms are on the table again.

Continuity: After Guido has been escorted from the bookstore by the police his mother-in-law comes to the store. Giosuè picks up a pile of books from the floor with a red book on top, but when the camera angle changes there's a white book on top of the pile.

Continuity: When Guido stands in the rain outside the barracks, calling Giosuè, the way the blanket is hanging over his left arm changes from smooth to crumpled between shots.

Continuity: In the scene where Guido has his sudden entrance from behind Ferrucio to surprise Dora and her colleague watch the café in the background: two girls disappear from the table on the right between shots.

Plot hole: When Giosuè acts as a silent German boy and joins the coffee party Guido talks to him in Italian quite loudly while he is eating. The two German children sitting at the same table should have noticed something and, if not give him away, at least be somewhat surprised.

Continuity: When Giosuè gets out of the metal box and the tank arrives his shadow turns by 90 degrees.

Continuity: When Giosuè climbs out of the metal box the door is only half open, but when the camera angle changes it's fully open.

Other: When Guido decides to leave the camp with Giosue, he stops by the box Giosue will hide in, and says they will win 60 points if they get through the night. When Giosue asks how many points they have ("Quanti punti abbiamo?"), you can see Guido mouth " - ti abbiamo" along with Giosue.

Revealing: When Guido knocks the flower pot from the window sill and it breaks on Rodolfo's head it looks and disintegrates like wood but sounds like terracotta.

Other: When Guido drops Dora at home after he had "kidnapped" her from the opera the rain has stopped. She mentions his wet hat, he takes it off and puts it back on, and when he bends forward a substantial trickle comes running off the brim. There should be no water left (if any) after he had taken the hat off.

Continuity: When Giosuè is hiding in the small cupboard Guido puts some flowers on top and some of the blossoms hang over the edge. In the next shot they are all lying on the cupboard, but when the camera angle changes they are hanging over again.
