Quotes
Man in White Suit:
I'll kill you if you make that noise once the movie starts! Understand? And... I also don't like watch alarms going off.
Goofs
When the gangster tickles his mistress by placing the bowl of prawns in cognac on her bare stomach, the sound of her laughter doesn't match up with her mouth movement.
Crazy Credits
The entire closing credit sequence is a shot a woman breastfeeding her child; the camera slowly zooms in on the baby's mouth sucking his mother's breast.
