Personal comments : Louis de Funès is not marked in the credits, he does not appears of the film but, he doubles the voice of a salesman of brioche breads in the street :
- at 5 minutes and 20 seconds, he says : '' Les pains briochés ! Pains Briochés ! Les pains briochés ! Pains Briochés ! Pains Briochés ! Pains Briochés ! ''
