·When the film was shot in The Kingdom of Morocco Casablanca, Habuse, a tourist attraction, was chosen, where there are many shops and residential buildings on both sides of the street. The shop will be closed on the day of the shooting, and the shopkeepers can get a certain amount of compensation. There is a shop with very obvious characteristics of the door, but the owner would rather stand at the door instead of leaving. He wanted to try to squeeze more money from the producer. The film crew had to put up some temporary buildings and a blanket of The Kingdom of Morocco in the background. About 20 minutes later, in order to get more money, some conservative Muslims began to meditate on the street. The producer finally decided to change to another location in Casablanca.
·"OSS117: Cairo's Bourse" at the 19th Tokyo International Film Festival, unexpectedly won the Golden Unicorn Award for Best Picture, and won a prize of 100,000 US dollars, which can be said to be a big upset. The explanation of the jury is that it is looking for a film that takes into account both the artistic and entertaining aspects. It should be said that both sides of the film are taken into consideration.
Director Michael Hazanavisius said at a press conference after winning the Best Picture Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival: “It is extremely rare for a comedy to win any award, let alone the highest award of the film festival. I I was so surprised that we received this honor. I feel very, very honored."
