Trivia

The scenes where the people of Paris are shown leaving town because of Nazi occupation were shot just before the morning traffic jammed the streets.

Share this

The actors/musicians that play Cesar's family are members of the Romanian music group Taraf de Haidouks.

Share this

The Place de la Concorde was used by the production as background for some scenes. This came after several weeks of negotiation between the director and producers of the movie, and the mayor of Paris, since the location is rarely closed for movie production. The scenes were shot after midnight and before 6:00 p.m.

Goofs

In the scene where Suzie is following Cesare and his friends on her bike, they go through a passage where you can see the Eiffel Tower in the background and it is lit up. However, the lights were not added to the Tower until 1986.

Share this

When Suzie is following on her bicycle, we can see that it is a multi-speed bike with a rear derailleur, which were not in use until 1949.
