During the making of the film, director Jean Renoir was so exasperated with producer Darryl F. Zanuck's interference with the picture that he offered his resignation. Zanuck declined Renoir's request. As filming progressed, however, Zanuck grew increasingly frustrated with Renoir's method of directing and his inability to stay on schedule.

It is unclear what caused Zanuck's change of heart, but Renoir returned to his duties and finished the film.
