Deliberate mistake: Montag's hair gets intermittently shorter, longer and shorter again (and acquires a "cow lick" that wasn't there before) near the end of the film. (Oskar Werner had clashed with Francois Truffaut and deliberately had his hair cut to spite director.)

Guy Montag: To learn how to find, one must first learn how to hide.
Trivia: The books seen burning at various points in the film include several of Ray Bradbury's novels (Fahrenheit 451 itself is one of these), as well as a French cinema magazine for which director Francois Truffaut once wrote a movie column.
