Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Claude Jade was Truffaut's muse in 'Stolen Kisses' and 'Bed and Board' — this was her late-career comeback, playing a woman haunted by past love.
The title 'Porté disparu' is French military term for 'missing presumed dead' — legally liminal, never fully resolved. That's the whole film.
