** Late in the film, Ferdinand likens his relationship with Marianne to a film starring Michel Simon in which he fell in love with a girl he knew was bad for him. The film in question is ''Film/LaChienne'', in which Simon plays a timid cashier who falls in love with a prostitute who, along with her pimp/boyfriend, is just using him for financial gain - which, we later learn, is also true of Ferdinand and Marianne (with Fred playing the role of the pimp/boyfriend).
