The Swedish premiere of this movie was 6th of November 1939, one possibility is that it was ready in 1939 and already shipped to Sweden before the outbreak of World War 2. It arrived at the Swedish Censorship board (No 60.094) in September 1939. So it is possible that it premiered in Sweden before it premiered in France.
Simone Simon was originally slated to play all three leading female roles, showing women in different eras, but due to a dispute with the director about which version of the script was to be used, the temperamental star walked off the set and she was replaced in the other two parts by two new actresses.
Final film of Jane Loury.
