Production

The composer of the music of the film Henri Betti plays his own role. During a scene, there is an orchestra that plays the melody of the songs C'est si bon and Mais qu’est-ce que j’ai ? (1947).

The song Le Beau Pedro was used in the film His Father's Portrait directed by André Berthomieu the same year.
