Production
[edit]According to Galabru, the film was shot on location in a mental institution with a group of folkloric dancers from Auvergne.[2] The title song, composed by Vladimir Cosma, was sung by Annie Cordy[3], who also plays in the film. Despite the original idea of the film being to create parody of Last Tango in Paris[4][5], the director presented the film as a "modern comedy of manners" [6]
Reception
[edit]The film was very poorly received, one contemporary critic finding in it the "epitome of modern idiocy".[7] Michel Galabru later recalled how he himself had found the premise ludicrous.[2]
