Goofs
During the time period of the movie the matchlock would have been the common firearm, however, the telltale puff of smoke from the flash pan is missing every time one is fired.

Although the story is set in 1465, the Château de Chambord in Loir-et-Cher, which serves as the Duke of Burgundy's residence, was built between 1519 and 1547. The Château de Maintenon in Eure-et-Loir, which began construction in the 12th Century, was expanded and renovated several times and did not reach the state in which it appears in the film until the 18th Century.

Q
Grace Kelly---Was She Suppose to Star in "Quentin"?
A
Chicago Tribune, October 23, 1954:LOOKING AT HOLLYWOODby Hedda Hopper. . . . Grace Kelly, who gets every third year off to do a Broadway play [this bright girl had it stipulated in her Metro contract], can now toss out a bale of scripts sent her by producers and playwrights. She's settled on Tennesse Williams' comedy of manners--it's as yet untitled. This will be bad news to a score of hopeful producers. Meanwhile she does "The Cobweb" and "Quentin Durward" for the home studio and can squeeze in one more before she's free for the footlights.___________________________
