Did You Know?
| Trivia | The opening credit song (the one who says "Viens manger ta soupe, si tu veux grandir" - come and eat your soup if you want to grow-) is sung by its composer Francis Lai himself. The voice of a young boy had indeed been recorded for the movie, but it was discarded during the editing of the film (source : interview of Francis Lai in the 2011 DVD). See more » |
