Continuity mistake: When Mr. Russell interrupts Hastings' plans of randomly shooting in the middle of the Alexandria harbor, an empty brandy glass is on the table next to him in the first shot, and comes closer the second time he's in frame. (the two shots are not strictly consecutive but there's no reason why the frail old man, still in the same position both times, would pull his empty glass a couple inches closer when off-camera).

Continuity mistake: Clapperton demonstrates how he can deal cards of his choosing at will and therefore he refrains from playing bridge. In the close-up of his hand and table you can see the cards he dealt are stacked irregularly, but when he deals the last 4s the cards are more neatly arranged, spread in a fan. (00:17:10)
Continuity mistake: Mrs Clapperton puts down the score notes and pencil before lighting up her cigarette. Between the shots and the reverse, the pen disappears and the notebook changes position. (00:13:35)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Henderson gets back aboard, the same extra (bearded man with black robes and brown belt) walks by coming from both directions at once. (00:26:30)
Continuity mistake: As the future victim scoffs saying "Must be a great solace to you" to the Tollivers, his hand goes from midair to the teacup between shots. (00:11:30)
Answer: He definitely says "Belgian", but the subtitles get it wrong and show him saying "American."
