Did you know
• Filmed over a painstaking period of two years, such was Jean-Pierre Melville's attention to detail. Daniel Cauchy, who plays Paolo, found time to make four other films in that period.
• Jean-Pierre Melville auditioned Alain Delon for the character of Paolo. He rejected him for fear he would steal the show.
• Favorite movie of Jim Jarmusch.
