The film is adapted from Henri-Pierre Lozzi's autobiographical novel of the same name. Lozzi was 74 years old when he completed the original work, and it did not attract any attention after it was published. Truffau bought the novel by accident when he was still a film critic, determined to make it into a movie. Later, he used the topic in a film review and praised the novel with two sentences. Someone cut the film review to Lozzi, and the old gentleman wrote to Truffau immediately to thank him. Since then, the old and the young have communicated with geese. When filming "Four Hundred Strikes", Jeanne Moreau visited the class, Truffaut showed her the novel and sent her pictures to the old gentleman. The latter wrote back, agreeing that she is the ideal candidate to play Catherine. But three days before the film finally started, the old man unfortunately passed away

Catherine: [singing] I recognized her as the banjos danced, That mysterious smile left my heart entranced, That voice so bright, That face so white, I fell into a trance. I drank and hear her song so gay, Alcohol takes time's sting away, I woke in her embrace, Felt her kisses on my face. Felt her kisses on my face. We met, said adieu and then met anew, We lost touch and then we lost touch again, Said hello from the heart, Then strayed apart, But then again it starts. We went our own ways, In life's whirlpool of days, We met again one night, and well, Into my arms again she fell, Into my arms again she fell.

Catherine: [singing] When the first time you knew and the second time too, It was just right for you, Why say adieu, When you feel in your heart it's right from the start, Then you mustn't part. So we set off together anew, Spinning through life, just you and me, We whirl on through life this way, Embracing till this day. Embracing till this day. Embracing till this day.
