The 1971 film:
- On-Set Injury: Louis de Funès lightly injured his foot on a day of filming and was unable to walk for over a day. A dialogue scene he had to film with Claude Gensac was thus rewritten as taking place in bed before their characters go to sleep so De Funès wouldn't have to walk.
- Production Posse: Jean Girault, De Funès, Claude Gensac and Michel Galabru were longtime collaborators in the Gendarme de Saint-Tropez film series. They filmed Le Gendarme en balade concurrently with this one, in fact. And composer Raymond Lefebvre worked on all of these films as well.
- Those Two Actors:
- One of the ten films Louis De Funès made with actress Claude Gensac, and one out of seven in which she played his character's wife.
- De Funès and Michel Galabru, one of their numerous works together, Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez series included.
- Also De Funès with Paul Préboist in a minor role, like in The Big Restaurant, Delusions of Grandeur, L'Homme orchestre, Hibernatus, Oscar, and others.
