Continuity mistake: In Irma's apartment, the windows are covered with newspapers, to block out prying eyes. From the apartment's view, the newspapers don't cover the lower third, but from the street view, the lower third is covered.
Irma la Douce (1963)
Directed by: Billy Wilder
Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, Lou Jacobi, Bruce Yarnell
Continuity mistake: When Nestor is Count X, Irma gives him a very-red lipsticked kiss on his right cheek. But, later, in the cafe, the redness has reduced a lot, then gets redder again, and then less, then more.
Irma La Douce: Who wants to be a stray dog? You got to belong to someone, even if he kicks you once in a while.
Nestor Patou: Why don't we just tell him the truth?
Moustache: The truth? That's dynamite.
Nestor Patou: But I'm innocent.
Moustache: The jails are full with innocent people because they told the truth.
Moustache: But that's another story.
