Facts about
French actor Claude Rich actually plays two characters in this film. Rich plays the young Lt. Pierre de la Fouchardière and the mustached Gen. Henri Leclerc, de la Fouchardière's commander, but Rich is only credited for playing Leclerc. In real life, as a teenage boy during the Second World War, Rich was staring at some German soldiers in the street, and the real de la Fouchardière saved him from possible harm when he saw the boy in the street and got him to come into the building he was in and away from the Germans.
In 1967, Paramount Pictures distributed this film in the USA (dubbed in English and retitled "Is Paris Burning?") on a double bill with Chuka starring Rod Taylor and Ernest Borgnine.
