Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chevalier adapted this from Maupassant's 1881 short story, keeping the author's sharp eye for French bourgeois hypocrisy intact.
France Lomay appears uncredited—she was primarily known for softcore films, making her casting a winking meta-joke about 'respectable' cinema.
