Interesting facts

Pardon My French is a 1951 American-French coproduction comedy film directed by Bernard Vorhaus and starring Paul Henreid, Merle Oberon and Paul Bonifas. A French-language version released as Dans la vie tout s'arrange was filmed alongside the English-language version.

Production

The film project was conceived as an American, French and British coproduction, the first of a partnership formed by American Peter Cusick, Frenchman André Sarrut and Englishman Christopher Mackintosh, but only Cusick and Sarrut are listed as the producers in the final film. It was filmed exclusively in the south of France at the Château de Castellaras in Mouans-Sartoux, five miles inland from Cannes.

In his autobiography, Paul Henreid wrote that he became involved with the film to fulfill a commitment to his friend André Sarve, a French producer with whom he served as coproducer.
