Trivia

The title of this movie's source novel "Querelle de Brest" (1935) was changed for this film version dropping the last two words ("de Brest') making the movie's title simply just a shortened form of the book's name, Querelle (1982), a film with a one word title.

The movie's source novel by Jean Genet was called "Querelle de Brest". The film's director Rainer Werner Fassbinder had once made a film about eight years earlier with the similar title of Effi Briest (1974).

The picture in its first three weeks in theatrical release in Paris, France sold more than 100,000 tickets. According to "Genet: A Biography" (1993) by Edmund White, this was the first time that a film with such a strong gay theme had achieved this kind of box-office success.
