There are two original versions of this film, one in Flemish (with Jet Naessens as Janine) and one in French (with Simone Poncin as Janine). Robert Lussac's real name was Robert Timmermans but in the Flemish version he played the role of 'Robert Bourdin' under the pseudonym he always used in Flemish movies "Bob Storm".
