    • Goofs
      When Stanislas and Antoine enter Mersault and are standing in the place across from the Hotel du Globe, a modern lit up sign for the hotel stands above the doorway. In World War II, no lights were permitted outside that could be viewed from the air so if the sign had been there, it would have been dark.
    • Quotes

      Augustin Bouvet: [with strong French accent] You, you come with me to pick up Peter.

      Stanislas LeFort: No, you you come with me to pick up MacIntosh!

      Augustin Bouvet: No no no no, you you you! and if you don't come I... oh merde alors comment on dit ça...

      Stanislas LeFort: Comment ça "merde alors"? but alors you are French!

    • Alternate versions
      The original German release had several parts of the French original cut. Some of them might have been taken out because some gags could not be used because of the different languages used in the original (French, German and English). There is for example the quite funny scene when Claudio Brook reveals himself as an English man on the train when he says "I'm sorry" when spilling some vine. The German version instead just shows the angry German officer who commands to arrest the English soldier. Some parts are cut without any obvious reason - e.g. a humorous dialogue of Louis de Funès and Bourvil, their escape and chase in German uniforms. The German version just comes into the scene when they are already arrested.

    Intense delight
    This movie certainly belongs to one of the best comedies French cinema has ever produced.It has that rare quality of entertaining the viewer over and over again although it has been around for years. It is also probably Louis de Funès' most witty performance ever, mainly due to the fact that he reduced his frequently exaggerated ( and often irritating) facial expressions and babbling away to an acceptable level.Bourvil was always and remains, even today, an icon of the French cinema.As a team, de Funès and Bourvil form an "odd couple" that really works and their constant bickering is often hilarious. A lot of fun is made of the Germans and British but this is always done with a tongue-in-cheek approach and the whole movie bristles with a "joie de vivre" that leaves the viewer with a feeling of intense delight.
