Interesting facts
Tit-Coq is a Canadian film, directed by René Delacroix and Gratien Gélinas, and released in 1952.
Production
Gratien Gélinas wrote the revue sketch Le retour du conscrit in 1946. Film producer Paul L'Anglais suggested to Gélinas that he turn it into a screenplay. Gélinas did so in 1947, but he was unable to obtain financing for the film. He turned the screenplay into a play and it was performed over 500 times from 1947 to 1950. This popularity convinced L'Anglais and Joseph-Alexandre DeSève that the play could be adapted into a film.
