The actors were members of a then popular comedy group called 'Les Cyniques' (the cynics).
This film was an attempt on the one hand to capitalize on their popularity and create a movie that would find a wide market in the Quebec forum and on the other hand bust through Hollywood's strangle-hold on the Canadian Film Distribution Market...
