Production
According to Galabru, the film was shot on location in a mental institution with a group of folkloric dancers from Auvergne.[2] The title song, composed by Vladimir Cosma, was sung by Annie Cordy[3], who also plays in the film. Despite the original idea of the film being to create parody of Last Tango in Paris[4][5], the director presented the film as a "modern comedy of manners" [6]
