 When the director Julien Duvivier (qv) 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 (qv) had also sought refuge, Duvivier shot extra  scenes, e.g. when Morgan is seen queuing at the bakers, and added a  prologue with Charles Boyer (I) (qv) linking scenes between the  different generations .
