Did You Know?
| Trivia | Annie Girardot says in her biography that there was a short, intense and very tender romance between her and her co star Louis De Funès during the production of the movie. But it never continued after. De Funès never responded to her soliciting. See more » |
| Goofs | The description of the company products on the plate at the entrance of the facilities, at the beginning of the film, is misspelled. It says dépoluants instead of dépolluants (depollution machines). See more » |
