Belligerent Sexual Tension: Griggs and secretary Miss Pritchard spend the entire movie bickering with and nagging each other. When Griggs notes that if he’d offered her a drink 25 years ago she’d have slapped him she asks how he knows. He never asked. The film ends with them going off to have a drink.

The Alleged Car: The orphanage kindly lends Jervis a truck to go for help after his party's car breaks down. The American army left it after the war. No, not that war. The one before that. It literally falls to pieces as they come to a stop outside their destination.
