Goofs
When George visits Zsuzsi on her birthday, bringing her the doll, as he drives his car in, the number plates can be seen briefly. They are the new type of plates used in Hungary from the early 90s to 2003. Besides, it begins with OT, a special plate for old timer cars (hence OT).

At the airport in Budapest the sign on the building says "Budapest Ferihegy 1". In the 1960s there was only one airport terminal at the Budapest International Airport, therefore it was not numbered.
