  • Screenplay

    The film's credits describe the movie as being based on a novel by Cecil Saint-Laurent. Cecil Saint-Laurent (the pen name of author Jaques Laurent) was a best-selling author who had been hired to write the screenplay for the film. Ophuls didn't use Saint-Laurent's screenplay, however, preferring the script that he had developed with Annette Wademant. The production company wanted to capitalize on Saint-Laurent's name recognition, so they credited him with authoring a non-existent novel.Senses of Cinema: Lola Montes (March 2006)
