Creator Cameo: Claude Lelouch can be seen in one shot at the Monte Carlo race, behind Jean-Louis, holding a camera.

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Jean-Louis and Anne are attracted to each other. Finally, Anne declares her love for Jean-Louis. Jean-Louis goes through all of France to meet her, but the memory of her lost husband prevents Anne from building a new relationship with Jean-Louis, so she leaves him: she takes a train back to Paris. Nevertheless, Jean-Louis decides to drive to the train station where she must arrive to meet her again, and he embraces her on the platform.

Deliberately Monochrome: The movie shifts back and forth from color to black and white for no apparent reason, and no pattern except that most of the outdoor scenes are in color and most of the indoor scenes are in black and white. Claude Lelouch later admitted that he was initially shooting the movie in black and white because he had No Budget, but after an American distributor gave him $40,000 for color film stock he shot as much as he could in color. So it is a subversion of the trope, because there is no purpose for the colour switches.
