Did you know

Bourvil, who was excited to play besides Fernandel, his long time idol, was deceived by him, because Fernandel ignored him between the takes and behaved in a very arrogant way with the rest of the crew. According to Bourvil, Fernandel thought he was, him, Fernandel, the real lord and god on the shooting.

At first, there was no real screenplay for the film.
