 In a television interview ("Vivement Dimanche Prochain", France 2,  17 April 2005) Brigitte Fossey (qv), who played the little  Paulette, revealed that the film had originally been shot as a  short, and then it was later decided to extend it into a feature  film. Unfortunately she had lost her milk teeth and  Georges Poujouly (qv) (who plays the boy Michel) had had his hair  cut to play in _Nous sommes tous des assassins (1952)_ (qv). So, in  many scenes of the movie Paulette has false teeth and Michel is  wearing a wig.
