1 character mistake
Directed by: William Wyler
Starring: Peter O'Toole, Audrey Hepburn, Eli Wallach, Hugh Griffith
Continuity mistake: When Peter O'Toole takes the Cillini and replaces it with a wine bottle, the bottle is about half full. When the guards finally realize that the Cillini is gone, the bottle is obviously empty. (01:39:15 - 01:42:45)
Nicole Bonnet: I can't drive a stolen car.
Simon Dermott: Same principle, four gears forward, one reverse.
Trivia: Audrey Hepburn's movie wardrobe was designed by the famous fashion designer, Givenchy. During the film, Peter O'Toole jokingly comments to Hepburn that the cleaning woman disguise she is to wear for the heist will, "give Givenchy a night off."
