At the tennis match, when Pierre tells Irene he has something important to tell her, the intertitle reads, "You know I'm eighteen years old. I'm passed the age of 'puppy' love." The correct spelling is "past".
Irene apologizes to André for having "lied" to him. Irene never told André anything untrue about the death of her husband; she kept her mouth shut to protect Pierre.
This is known as "lying by omission". Many people consider this just as significant a falsehood as telling an untruth.

Irene shoots her husband at a distance, yet the Court accepts the argument that the man committed suicide. The ballistics evidence would disprove this argument.
