Distribution

Remarks

the director Robert Bibal, credited by the corporative ones with time (Index of Cinémato inter alia) like “technical corealisator”, appears in the credits (raised on copy), no testimony of actor or technician having taken part in film moreover not having made it possible to confirm its effective presence on turning.
Madeleine the Sologne, sometimes quoted, always contradicted to have taken part in film. Its name was crossed out besides projects of distribution found in the Guitry Files. In the same way, Pauline Paperboard (a knitting machine?), Jeanne Fusier-Gir and especially Marguerite Moreno (of which the name is reproduced nevertheless on the Belgian poster of film), also mentioned by the corporative ones of time, appear neither with the credits, nor with the screen.
