Michel Mardore said he asked Muriel Catalá to shave her pubic area to accentuate her childlike appearance. "This should have sold the film in Japan, since the Japanese abhor pubic hair and only accept the female nude when the woman is shaved..."
Isabelle Adjani had an audition for the leading female role, Nanette. Until the first day of filming, producers and directors were still hesitating between 'Muriel Catala' and her.
French actor Jean-Pierre Mocky was supposed to play the role of Claude but the part eventually went to German actor Horst Buchholz.
The film is loosely inspired by wartime events that took place at Oradour-sur-Glane, France.
