It even has some funny moments. Plus, it’s the "first" of many things for Polanski: the first color film, the first comedy (or at least, the first that’s so clearly lighter compared to his initial trio of films and most of his later work), the first with a sensibly substantial budget, the first where he had to argue with the producers. It's the third film out of four written together with Brach (there will be quite a few others) after the wonderful "Repulsion" and "Cul de sac," and the third with music by Komeda (after "Knife in the Water" and again "Cul").
