Quote:
What is perhaps more inexplicable is why Resnais took the trouble to insert shots of the Providence, Rhode Island, skyline in a film that otherwise seems to be set in an anonymous European city. (Filmed in Paris, I suppose.)


John Coldstream's biography of Dirk Bogarde states that Resnais originally intended to shoot the film on location in Rhode Island but ended up filming in Belgium in Brussels, Antwerp and Louvain, and in France in Paris and Limoges.
