Around film
- One of two entirely sung films of Jacques Demy. Second a room downtown is .
- It was almost entirely turned to Cherbourg-Octeville (Manche), mainly in the central district, around the street of the Port, during the summer 1963.
- the sequences of film are very precisely dated and return account with much realism of an economic reality, social and political (the events in Algérie) such as they could be lived and perceived. It is the realistic opposite course to film to the others party-taken: completely sung dialogs, decorations with the pushed colors, etc
- the character of Roland Cassard is the same one as that of the protagonist of Lola , of Jacques Demy also. “Formerly, I loved a woman…” sings it by referring during dining there it. He is interpreted by the same actor: Marc Michel.
- At the request of the chancellor Konrad Adenauer who had particularly appreciated film of Demy, a version sung in German was carried out. In order to facilitate the sale of film through the Federal republic, the title of film was modified just as the toponyms and names of the characters. Thus in the German version, the Umbrellas of Cherbourg are called Die Regenschirme von Cuxhaven . Guy became Helmut, Genevière Roswitha and Madeleine Gudrun.
