Losset originally [[Pitch (filmmaking)|pitched]] the film to [[TF1]], but was rejected as the network executives thought it would be impossible to make a movie where a woman stays nude for the entire runtime. When the pitch instead was approved at Canal+ and France 3, he immediately left his writing job at France 2 to work on the film, in what he described as a hectic production, consisting of 30 days of pre-production, and 26 days of filming. The film was well received by critics, who enjoyed its humor, the restraint shown in not filling it with titillation, and the rapport between its leads. |
