Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Six in Paris (1965)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Jean Rouch's segment "Gare du Nord" is made in almost one long hand-held continuous take, following Odile from a breakfast-table argument with her boyfriend, played by producer-director Barbet Schroeder, out into the street.
- Jean-Luc Godard's segment "Montparnasse-Levallois" interprets the news story Alfred Lubitsch reads to Angela in A Woman Is a Woman (1961), and is itself based on Jean Giraudoux's story "La Méprise", with the genders reversed so two women receive letters their lover sent to the wrong person.
