Trivia:
One of the hired consultants appears in the film as the character Roland Darbant, who plans the escape tunnel and improvises all the tools they use.

During production, Becker hired three of the attempted escapees as technical consultants.

The soundtrack of this film is entirely Diegetic (the source of every sound being visible).

Director Jacques Becker had used mainly non-actors for purposes of authenticity.

Director Jacques Becker tragically passed away two weeks after completing the film.
