Production

Screenwriter Ioan Grigorescu and director Iulian Mihu held "long and resultful discussions" with George Călinescu about an adaptation of the novel Enigma Otiliei. The writer said that he wanted thee film to be made in the style of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, a musical film. He hummed a song that the screenwriter reproduced to composer Anatol Vieru. The song was played by Aurelian Andreescu and was used before the credit titles in the beginning of the film.[1]
