The Train

Continuity mistake: In the train yard scene when Le Biche and Colonel Von Windheim are watching for the trains to switch to the right tracks a pipe is tossed onto a chair and tobacco spills out, but when the camera is panned away and comes back the tobacco is nowhere to be seen.

Continuity mistake: Le Biche uses a pair of pliers to get the pipe out, but as he pulls the pipe out they vanish.

Other mistake: Labiche uses binoculars to view the coupling of the armament train from the control tower (when they are deliberately delaying train coupling), but the binoculars are in the closed/stored position, lenses close together. You cannot view through them like this as they don't line up with your eyes. In a later scene, when Papa Boule is driving the train through an air raid, he uses the binoculars correctly in the open position.

Labiche: No one's ever hurt. Just dead.
Didont: Paul, uh, have you ever seen any of those paintings on that train? I haven't. You know, when it's over, I think maybe we should take a look, hmm?

Colonel von Waldheim: Beauty belongs to the man who can appreciate it.

Papa Boule: Renoir... I knew a girl who modeled for Renoir... She smelled of paint.
