At the beginning of film, Virgil, very moderate and diplomatic in the original version, comments in Bo: " You just pick out nap lime pit-looking little Gall with has cooperating natural and has good personality " , which is rather well translated in the version doubled into French by a " I would rather advise you to choose a not-pretty-all-simple girl but who is ready to cooperate and with good a mentalité" , counterpart which becomes more debatable in the subtitled version (of the DVD): " Chosen a too pretty but hard-working girl not and not empoisonnante".

In the Trailer, the notoriety of the star Marilyn Monroe is obviously proposed. In this respect, a crusty small detail: ones of magazines with Marilyn are presented, of which one of Paris Match of July 1953 which, with very beautiful Marilyn embracing an ancient column, titrates in manner shock " Will the cinema disappear? " , as what this question is recurring, or then that shows that the press has obsessions, or not ideas…
