Continuity mistake: When Audrey Hepburn, posing as a cleaning woman, is scrubbing the museum and attempting to escape to the guard room, she notices the large engagement ring and removes it from her finger. In the very next scene, where she is scrubbing the pillar and holding the bucket, the ring is still on her finger. The ring catches a flashing reflection as the camera pans away.
