Did You Know?
| Trivia | Louis Salou had a lot of trouble with the scene where he had to slap Micheline Presle. He found it abhorrent to hit a woman and the scene was redone countless times as he couldn't bring himself to hit her hard enough. When the scene was finally done, he reportedly broke down, shaking and crying. See more » |
