Some questions (spoiler alert)
Don't read this if you haven't seen the movie yet....

A few things puzzled me:
(1) At the first roadblock (when he's chasing the train), the husband barrels through without stopping, but the police just ignore him. Why don't they at least try to chase him?
(2) At the second roadblock, even though the fugitive is sitting in plain view in the passenger seat (and is #1 on the wanted list, and apparently the reason for the roadblock), the police fail to nab him! Are they blind? He doesn't seem to be in disguise (and doesn't seem very worried, either). This led me to conclude (incorrectly) that the hitchhiker wasn't the fugitive after all!
(3) Next day, in the village, we hear the clock strike 1 (presumably 1 PM, since it's daylight). The husband then enters a cafe and it's 11 AM. Huh??
(4) The waitress in the cafe invites him to use the phone, but for local calls only. He then proceeds to call all over France. Why doesn't she object? And later, he asks her to put the charges for the calls on his credit card. How is she supposed to know what the charges are, until the bill arrives? Or is this possible, with the French phone system?
(5) Not directly related to the movie: What are those little curved arrows painted in the middle of the road, between dots on the dotted center line? It's been a while (years) since I drove in Europe, and I don't remember seeing these.
