* FauxSymbolism: It's been suggested that the entire film is a metaphor for Julie Andrews herself. Lili begins the film as a seemingly sweet and wholesome singer who even the police wouldn't suspect is actually a spy. Throughout the course of the film, the nature of appearances and deception is examined - as Lili is revealed to be quite different from the persona that Bill and everyone else thinks. This parallels Julie Andrews's own struggles with people seeing her only as Film/MaryPoppins or [[Film/TheSoundOfMusic Maria von Trapp]] and how her own personality was different in real life. Fittingly the opening shot first shows Lili performing on stage from the audience's POV, before switching to her own.
* QuestionableCasting: Creator/RockHudson was attacked by critics for being too old for the role of a World War I AcePilot. He was in his mid-40s when it was filmed and nearly fifty when it was released.

* SlowPacedBeginning: The early part of the 190 minute cut runs very slowly, featuring Lili singing various songs and entertaining the soldiers. A FallingInLoveMontage lasts quite a while too. Then Lili starts to suspect that Bill has been lying to her, and the plot kicks into gear. This is partly the reason Blake Edwards opted to recut the movie in the 90s, trimming it by about 29 minutes.
* UncertainAudience: The bulk of the movie is a sexy thriller, with a ''{{Theatre/Cabaret}}'' flavoured wartime romance. Yet there are two comic relief characters whose slapsticky scenes are more reminiscent of ''Film/ThePinkPanther''.
