Reception
Although not immediately popular with critics, the film was a significant commercial success, making at least $2 million at the box office in its initial run.[4] Its success was part of a wave of films that reignited the commercial viability of the Cinema of Quebec, following a number of fallow years in the late 1960s.[5] As of 2020, it was still recognized as one of the most commercially successful films in Quebec's cinematic history.[6]
