Continuity mistake: When Le Fley runs through the house to be shown that the painting is missing, he is seen in three shots; in the first he is barefoot, in the second he appears to be wearing light-coloured mules, loafers or some other lightweight footwear, and in the third he is barefoot again. It is a little hard to see this in the second shot as his feet are moving quickly, so I could be mistaken, but it does look like he has something on his feet.
