« Le titre vient de ce qu’il s’agit d’un Arabe qui tue l’officier et son épouse adultère du même coup de takouba. Le canon est mis là parce que c’est un canon d’artillerie de marine. J’ai en effet servi dans l’artillerie lourde en Argonne et dans la Somme en 14-18. »
‘The title comes from the scene depicted whereby an Arab kills the officer and his adulterous wife with the same takouba. The cannon is there because it is a naval artillery cannon. I actually served in the heavy artillery in the Argonne and the Somme in 14-18’.
