* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Neither of the two main actors thought the film would be successful. Creator/JeanPaulBelmondo was very surprised by the warm reception the film received. Immediately after production he was convinced it was so bad that he thought the film would never be released, while Creator/JeanSeberg felt the shoot was incredibly disorganised and was highly doubtful about the film's commercial viability.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Martial Solal's super-jazzy score truly brings this film to life, paying tribute to the film noir works which inspired it. If you enjoyed Yoko Kanno's score for Anime/CowboyBebop, then you'll find a lot to love here.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** Creator/JeanSeberg's character tells Michel she's pregnant. Some years later, when she was pregnant in RealLife, the FBI spread rumors that [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt a black man had fathered her baby]] in retaliation for her civil rights activism. She was so distressed that she went into premature labor and the baby died. The situation was covered by the Creator/KristenStewart vehicle ''Seberg'' (WorkingTitle ''Against All Enemies''.)
** Jean Seberg's character mentions how she is afraid of growing old. Jean Seberg committed suicide at the age of 40.
