1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Regarding Suzon's claim that Marcel impregnated her, a lot of viewers think she made that up on the spot just to shock Catherine, especially as the matter never gets properly discussed.
2* AngstWhatAngst: Pierrette only grieves for her brother until her musical number starts. After that, she's uncannily cheerful and is more entertained by the other women trying to find the culprit than anything else.
3* FanNickname: Fanfic writers seem to agree on "Alain" as the name of Gaby's first love/Suzon's real father (he's a case of NoNameGiven in canon).
4* LesYay: There's still quite a bit of this even if one excludes all the stuff going on between Gaby, Pierrette, Chanel and Louise, which is just ''text''.
5** Suzon and Louise have a lot of tension with each other almost from their first meeting. At the end when the plot is being revealed, they hold onto each other tightly, and they're paired together for the last dance like Gaby and Pierrette are.
6** Catherine seems appreciative of Louise's musical number, grinning and biting her lip.
7** Easy to miss, Louise smiles seemingly flirtatiously at Augustine after her makeover.
8* OlderThanTheyThink: Robert Thomas' play that this film is based on had been adapted to cinema long before, with the title of ''[[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159606/ La Nuit des Suspectes]]'', made in 1957. It's decidedly eclipsed by Ozon's film, and viewers are not likely to hear of it without doing research on the source material.
9* OneTruePairing: Gaby/Pierrette is what's shipped by most of the fanfiction-writing, fan video-making community.
10* SignatureScene:
11** Gaby and Pierrette kissing.
12** Among the musical numbers, Catherine's, Augustine's, Louise's and Gaby's are perhaps the most talked about.
