"Repos du guerrier, Le" is a romantic farce that's funnier and more creative than most comedies. The film is not meant to be realistic, its colors, backgrounds and costumes, and the economic circumstances of its characters have a grandeur that never takes root, and the plot develops a farce. Still, it tries to strike the right balance between reality and non-reality, and focuses its jokes on making fun of human weaknesses rather than endorsing them

The film's score is excellent, with the sound staff using soft music to express Doris Day's upcoming confession, while the sound of gongs and drums represents Rock Hudson's deceitful character. The film uses a two-screen split effect in , sometimes a three-screen split, so that the laughter in the phone sequence overlaps each other
