    • Trivia
      Pascale Rocard talked about a particular scene in this movie: "It was my first experience with costume films. One day, we were shooting on a very turbulent river. We were in a boat, with our hair and costumes in the 1942 era, it must be said. In a first take, the director yells at me to jump into the water! I didn't see the link with the next scene that we had already shot and in which I wasn't wet! After two requests I complied without knowing that I had no foot and that swimming with heels is not the most practical!"

    Very good French language
    I liked this film mainly because it is the first French language film I have watched that I could understand quite well, although the English subtitles helped a lot. I have watched a lot of French movies, but always could only understand a word here and there. But in Les Turlupins most of the actors enunciated their lines so perfectly that I would recommend the film to anyone keen to learn French. Also the quirky behaviour of the boys and the very sensual demeanour of the girls was a eye-opener. Perhaps they were living through a war and just thought every day might be their last. An enjoyable movie.
