The role of "Lolita" was written for Marie Déa who pulled out of the project at the last minute. She was replaced by Michèle Alfa.
The director Georges Lacombe refused to shoot a music-hall scene, which is thought redundant. His refusal led to his contract with Continental Films being cancelled (some say to his relief as Continental was financed entirely by the occupying Nazis).
