| Trivia | When the director Julien Duvivier left occupied France for Portugal to reach the United States, he arranged for the film to be shipped to California. Once in Hollywood, where actress Michèle Morgan had also sought refuge, Duvivier shot extra scenes, e.g. when Morgan is seen queuing at the baker's, and added a prologue with Charles Boyer linking scenes between the different generations .
