The scene in which Alessandra Martines dances totally naked in the courtrooms in front of a group of people was filmed in the old courthouse of Vieux-Lyon.
The scene in which Fabrice Luchini, Francis Huster, Alessandra Martines and Marie-Sophie L. are in a tent on top of Mont Blanc, was entirely improvised. During it, Luchini incites Martines, scandalized, to make a "turlute" (blowjob) to Huster, who is clearly not very comfortable. In his autobiography, Luchini says that in the scene Martines performed a real fellatio (not seen on camera) on Huster: "Yes, for me the best part of the scene is when, all of a sudden, she stops in the middle of the funny words and I get a look at Huster's sex because the girl might pull it out. Huster is terrified. I say: 'Finish it, it is very bad not to finish it. ' And there, I laughed as I had never laughed, as in life."
French director Claude Lelouch married Italian actress Alessandra Martines in 1993 and cast her in this film. He convinced her to film her first nude scenes, including dancing fully naked in front of a crowded room full of mostly men.
