The names of Ilf and Petrov were not mentioned in the credits due to Ilf's Jewish origin.
In a dream, Felix sees chairs standing in a row. However, there are not 13, but only 12.
When Felix assembles and reads the torn letter, it consists of 13 pieces. Later, at the junk shop, it has only 4 pieces.
