Agnès Soral's debut. She recalled: "I was just 17 years old and a lot of scenes of seduction with Jean-Pierre Marielle which made him as uncomfortable as me. To be respected despite my nudity, I had seen fit to be brittle. Destabilized, he did not help at all the beginner that I was and could even be unpleasant. At first...[...] I remember a tall, slightly clumsy man who seemed complexed by his large size and shy with women. Which was perfect for the purpose of the film."
There are two remakes of this film: the American remake Blame It On Rio (1984) and a 2015 French film also called Un moment d'égarement.
The filming of the movie started late because Agnès Soral, taking disinfectant products in connection with a rape she had recently suffered, had a very strong attack of peritonitis that caused her to fall into a coma. She then recovered and finally joined the rest of the cast. She was exhausted, "her cheeks still swollen with cortisone and her buttocks riddled with needle sticks."-she recalls.
Final film of Tessa Bouché.
