| Curiosities | Film debut of former Italian fighter Lino Ventura. According to Daniel Cauchy ("Fifi"), originally his character was supposed to remain in the car until the classic confrontation between Lino Ventura and Jean Gabin. He was traveling by plane between another film shot in Paris and this one, but director Jacques Becker thought it would be more convenient for Gabin's character to throw him out of the car before then. |
| Bloopers | When the submachine guns are removed from the wine box, they are Sten Submachine guns. When they are removed from the car after the ambush they are Sten Guns. When they are finally shot at the retreating gangsters, they have become two different models of Thompson Submachine guns, an early civilian model of a Thompson and a military model (M1 or M1A1) of a Thompson. |
