Trivia
This film is inspired from actual events that happened in the north of France. Yves Boisset met the actual female cop who was involved in this case, when he was shooting a movie in Thailand.

Goofs
Many soldiers on leave can be seen in uniform at the train station in the North of France. In 1979, a conscript soldier on leave was not authorized to wear his uniform outside the barracks due to the anti-military opinion of the population.

Female cop story

At the time,in the French cinema,women were joining the Police at an alarming speed .Miou-Miou was a credible female cop.She investigates a young girl's death.She brings to light a pedophilia network ,in which the local VIPs are involved .And the local Commissaire provides them with protection...

The subject was not that much frequent in the early eighties ,but Boisset's work is not as strong as his early militant works ("RAS" and "Dupont-Lajoie" ) or his powerful follow-up "Allons z'Enfants" .

The most interesting element is not the detective side of the story.It's the cop's relationship with the young people of the YM(W)CA.When they discover what her job is ,they look at her with disgust (typically post-68 attitude)."Keep on scoffing your Choucroute(sauerkraut),the police woman says,I've got more important things to do."
