The cars in 1973 in France and Italy? Hilarious. Especially the police cars.

Likewise some of the fashions--not the trendy fashions, just what regular people are wearing.

ETA: But OMG, the end of the movie is a big military parade in Paris (l'anniversaire de la libération de Paris), which was filmed during such a parade). The nusic and the scenes of the troops being assembled for the review and of the parade are AWESOME, including les chasseurs parachutistes, les chausseurs alpins, les troupes de marine, l'arme blindée cavalerie, and most awesome of all, the MOUNTED BAND of la cavalerie de la Garde Républicaine in full dress, maneuvering around l'Arc de Triomphe. So beautiful it makes me want to cry!

Also quite cool, everyone in the crowd wants a good view, of course (of la grande asperge, perhaps, but perhaps just of the spectacle), so hundreds of people have big cardboard PERISCOPES! How cool is that?
