Hahah lol once i was watching Earth girls are easy and in that movie they also showed a clip of this movie... i've always wondered what movie it was and now i found it haha xD
To give us the impression she was floating too, she was put on a board with little wheels under and tracted with a rope that you may guess if you watch the scene carefully. To improve Jean Marais voice, which was very high, Coteau made him smoke a lot so that he should have a coarse voice. If you like this actor, watch the Fantomas films and the Bossu, my favourite one, with Bourvil.
Jean Cocteau wrote it somewhere. Two other anecdotes : Jean Cocteau had the idea to film the heroin (who was ugly according to Jean Marais and who needed a long time at the make up woman) running in a hall, with floating curtains, in slow motion.

The film was based on Mme de Beaumont's tale.

That's so intriguing to me...imagine what those people are doing now with that piece of history. Where did you hear that?

They were so poor on this set (1945) you cannot imagine it !
A lot of things were stolen from the set by poor people (the curtains for instance)
