Did You Know?
| Trivia | Last movie from Claude Sautet, before his death in 2000. He was reportedly so happy by the public and critical reception of the movie that he didn't feel the need to make another one. See more » |
| Goofs | The movie title in French is "Nelly et Mr. Arnaud", but even though it's a common mistake, "Mr." isn't short for "Monsieur", it means "Mister". "Monsieur" is written "Mr" without the period. See more » |

Nelly:
[In a fancy restaurant]
There are more waiters than customers here. Monsieur Arnaud: That explains the prices. You saved my life, [by giving him a back massage] Monsieur Arnaud: so that ruled out McDonald's. See more » |
