References To Other Truffaut Films
- Early in the film Doinel can seen reading a French translation of the 1947 William Irish (Cornell Woolrich) novel Waltz into Darkness. This novel would be the source of Truffaut's next film, Mississippi Mermaid.
- The character Colette Tazzi and her husband Albert make a brief cameo appearance. She chides Doinel for not contacting her, saying he didn't used to be "afraid of the telephone." This is a reference to the plot of the 1962 short Antoine and Colette.
