According to Alison McMahon, Alice Guy met Herbert Blaché while working on this film, and the two had fallen in love by the time filming wrapped. He was 24 and she was 33. Blache had been hired as a replacement for Anatole Thiberville, her regular cameraman, who was ill at the time.
Much of the footage shot for this film ended up scratched and over exposed when developed. Alice Guy blamed the unreliable cameras, rather than the cameraman, Herbert Blaché.
