Visible crew/equipment: When Aurora sees Breedlove off at the airport and he comes out again, you see in his glasses the reflections of various people in dark clothes, but not Aurora who is wearing light colors and is supposed to be standing right in front of him. (01:44:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Aurora and Emma are drinking tea on Aurora's bed Emma takes a sip. From the way she tilts the cup there should still be a reasonable amount of tea in the cup, but in the next shot she laughs and shakes the cup so hard that whatever was left in the cup would have splashed out. (01:20:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Breedlove has Aurora over for dinner his wine glass is almost empty when it is shown first. In the next shot it is half full, without having been refilled. (01:12:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Emma and Patsy talk about her illness you see the NY skyline in the background. First the WTC is fully visible, but from one shot to the next it is half hidden in a huge cloud. (01:37:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Flap comes into the hospital room to talk to Emma for the last time his collar is straight. When he sits on her bed his collar is folded up and stuck under the lapel. (01:50:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Emma and Flap have their last talk in the hospital the curls over her ear change from shot to shot. (01:50:45)

NancyFelix

Factual error: Emma gets her cancerous lymph node removed without preceding or at least following chemotherapy. Later, when she finally gets chemotherapy, she keeps her full hair till the end.

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Breedlove comes over to tell Aurora that he wants to quit she rests her chin in in her hand. When she is shown from the side she has both hands down. (01:26:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the landing Halloran has a strap attached to the front of his vest. In the next shot it's gone. (01:07:35)

NancyFelix

Factual error: They land with their parachutes 20 km south of Lyon. Sellinger wants to go to Lyon, and Halloran wants to make his way to the channel. Why did they walk off in opposite directions? (01:07:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Halloran's parachute gets stuck in the trees and leaves him hanging at least 10 meters above the ground. However, in the following close-up shots he opens his belt and lands on the ground without any effort. (01:06:30)

NancyFelix

Character mistake: Before they jump off the plane Halloran should at least have checked if Sellinger has his parachute strapped on properly, knowing that the other guy has absolutely no experience. (01:05:55)

NancyFelix

Factual error: The lid Halloran removes before the jump out of the plane is much too small. They wouldn't have made it through the opening with their parachutes strapped on. (01:05:45)

NancyFelix

Factual error: Before Halloran and Sellinger take off for their mission Sellinger arrives on the airfield in an American army car but which has right-hand steering. (01:02:05)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: The British intelligence officer Wells, who is being trained to infiltrate the Gestapo headquarters at Lyon, would never pass as a German because of his slight but still quite noticable accent. (00:47:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the briefing before Halloran's second mission there are three bright ceiling lamps switched on in the hall. Immediately after the briefing Col. Bart wants to have a private word with him and the lamps are switched off, without any visible change of lighting. (00:28:25)

NancyFelix

Factual error: A high-ranking intelligence officer who tells his 8 or so-year old daughter what he does for a living must have been promoted a few times too many. (00:26:40)

NancyFelix

Factual error: All Gestapo are played by American actors who speak fairly good but by no means perfect German.

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene at Margaret's home she is wearing black sandals when she is sitting at the table. When she drops the teapot the close-up of her feet shows some clumsy brown slippers. (00:25:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The windshields of the cockpit of Halloran's plane have different panes, depending if they are shown from inside or outside. (00:15:45)
