Production
The film was shot between 10 August and 3 October 1981. Roland Moreno, the real life inventor of the smart card, was cast in the film as a "mad inventor" who creates a "love computer."
Florence Guérin recalls how she gave her first line to the cinema in this film: "After passing a day doing a walk-on part, I knew that the next day they needed a girl for a nude scene, but she had a line in it. I begged Claude Zidi, going in front of his boat and he gave in, telling me that maybe the scene would be cut and that they already had another actress. Finally I shot, the scene was not cut, and the end credits read: B.B 1: Florence Guérin."
Sandrine Bonnaire in an extra in the movie.
