    • Quotes

      Delphine, Solange: [singing] We are a pair of twins born in the sign of Gemini, Mi fa so la mi re, Re mifa so so so re do, We're two demoiselles who took to the boys long ago, Mi fa so la mi re, Re mifa so so so re do.

      Delphine: Our mama brought us up on her own, Working herself all her life to the bone.

      Solange: To make sure our minds could expand, She's spent all her time behind a French-fry stand.

      Delphine, Solange: Papa was somebody that we never knew, But when we undress one thing is true, In the small of our backs - in the very same place.

      Delphine: There's the same beauty spot

      Solange: He had on his face...

      Delphine, Solange: We are a pair of twins born in the sign of Gemini, Mi fa so la mi re, Re mifa so so so re do, Who love catchy tunes, silly puns and repartee, Mi fa so la mi re, Re mifa so so so re do...

    • Alternate versions
      Each musical number was filmed twice, both in French and English, to make a French and an International version. However, in the International version, scenes with dialogues were only redubbed in English but not reshot. The International version has never been released physically.

    Double your pleasure
    This film often suffers by comparison to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and unfairly so in my opinion. Because it is more upbeat, and delights directly in its status as an entertainment, it is perceived as less "serious", (i.e. lacking in intellectual rigor.) However, it shares all of the virtues of its more celebrated sister film without the heavier taste of melancholy and I think Les Demoiselles is dancier. Even the basketball players are choreographed. The iterations of the twins' song are especially fun.
