[2] The cast also includes René Caron, Carole Dagenais, Denis Drouin, Bernard Gosselin, Juliette Huot, Marc Legault, Marcel Pothier, Gilles Renaud, Jean-Pierre Masson and Gilbert Sicotte.
Maurice Élia of the film magazine Séquences compared the film negatively to the 1975 wartime drama Bound for Glory (Partis pour la gloire), calling it a vulgar farce that wasn't actually funny enough to call it a comedy.
