Production


Filming took place between June and August 1946 at the Studios de Saint-Maurice, with exterior scenes filmed at the Zoo de Vincennes. Jean d'Eaubonne was the set designer.
Jacques Feyder is credited as artistic director ("direction artistique"). Although Feyder was ill at the time, according to Françoise Rosay (his wife) he was asked to supervise filming because various members of the crew had no confidence in the young and inexperienced director, Marcel Blistène. Relations on the set between Blistène and Feyder were hostile, and once filming was finished it was Feyder who oversaw the editing.
