Continuity mistake: Annie Girardot and Murray Head are playing with the cake dough and playfully hit and splatter each other. Between the various takes, Annie Girardot gets some cleaning done, because she had hair and coat all messy midway through, but is much cleaner when that part of the scene is a wrap and the story moves on; the hair (she had an egg cracked on her head) is fine and the coat that had streaks of cream on the lapel is almost spotless. (00:25:20)
