Around film

the portrait of Danielle painted by Léonard de Vinci in film is inspired by a true named painting of Vinci " Scapagliata".
At the beginning of film, Paulette and Louise say that Maurice was sold in Cartier and must embark for Americas. That locates the action in 1534, the year when Jacques Cartier left for North America.
true the Mona LISA was painted on wood, which made it impossible to roll up as in film.
