Note relating to the distribution of film

The actress Luce Fabiole and the ex-realizer and actor Henry Houry, quoted by unquestionable corporative of time (of which the Index of Cinematography 1951) do not appear at all in film. It is wrongly that Henry Houry was sometimes credited (Catalog of the Films 1940-1950) with the role of " 4th member of the conseil" besides, nobody not having been able to date identify the interpreter of the character in question.
