What's left behind the scenes
- Francis Ford Coppola claimed that the film was greatly hindered by the demands of French President Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), who immediately stated that he would simply ban filming on location in Paris (and how could such a film be made without it?). In particular, Charles de Gaulle insisted that the filmmakers not emphasize the role played by the French Communist Party in the liberation of the country from the Nazis. According to Coppola, this was a blatant case of political censorship.
- One of the reasons the film was shot in black and white was that French authorities prohibited the display of red and black Nazi flags in Paris, allowing only black and gray cloths to be used.
- A postman fell off his bicycle on the Champs-Élysées when he saw extras in German uniforms crossing the street during their lunch break. Jumping to his feet, the postman ran off, shouting: "They're here again! They've returned!"
- Orson Welles (1915-1985), who had a small role in the film, was extremely rude to director René Clément (1913-1996) and, although he spoke fluent French himself, refused to communicate with Clément directly, preferring to use Yves Boisset as a translator. According to Boisset, Welles was simply envious of the large budget Clément had been allocated for the filming.
- During World War II, over 60,000 cars in France were converted to run on natural gas, and the film shows several vehicles with cylindrical gas tanks on their roofs.
- The entire film was shot in Paris. 180 locations were used for filming in the city itself and the surrounding suburbs.
- The plot revolves around each member of the acting ensemble speaking their native language. Initially, the film was planned as a joint Franco-German-British project (with a little bit of Swedish involvement). However, in video format, the film was released fully dubbed in only one language.
