The legend that de' Medici introduced a long list of foods, techniques and utensils from Italy to France for the first time is a myth routinely discredited by most food historians. Barbara Ketcham Wheaton and Stephen Mennell provided the definitive arguments against these claims. They point out that Catherine's father-in-law, King Francis I, and the flower of the French aristocracy had dined at some of Italy's most élite tables during the king's Italian campaigns (and that an earlier generation had done so during King Charles VIII's invasion of 1494); that a vast Italian entourage had visited France for the wedding of Catherine de' Medici's father to her French-born mother; and that she had little influence at court until her husband's death because he was so besotted by his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. In fact, a large population of Italians—bankers, silk-weavers, philosophers, musicians, and artists, including Leonardo da Vinci—had emigrated to France to promote the burgeoning Renaissance.

According to Fabio Vighi (2012), "[The film] is the story of Lt. Ed Cullen [...], who organizes the cover-up of a murder committed by the cynical femme fatale he has fallen for, and then keeps sticking to the plan until his final downfall, despite knowing too well what is coming." (47) "[A great example of the coincidence of law and crime is in the] B-noir The Man Who Cheated Himself, particularly in the scenes with the two brothers: on the one hand, the law as neutral, non- pathological instrument (the 'good cop' played by the younger brother); on the other hand, the law as crime (the older cop, played by Lee J. Cobb). The latter is not the generically corrupt cop but a detective who is driven, like few other noir detectives, by the femme fatale he is besotted by [...] 'You said it, she's got under my skin' are his final words to his brother." (159)Fabio Vighi, Critical Theory and Film: Rethinking Ideology Through Film Noir (London: Continuum, 2012).
