The Artifact: The source novel describes a relationship between an older man infatuated with his teenaged babysitter. That idea had to be abandoned when Belmondo and Karina, only seven years apart in age, were cast as the leads—but when they run away together, Marianne is still wearing a student's uniform, and working as Ferdinand's babysitter.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: At some point, Ferdinand says "you see? All she cares about is having fun" to which Marianne asks who is he talking to. He answers "to the viewer".

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The awful Vietnam War "play" that Ferdinand and Marianne put on for American tourists. His English dialogue basically consists of repetitions of "Oh yes...Hollywood...Communist", while she puts on Yellowface and babbles ching-chong nonsense.
