Quote about Les sauf-conduits [in French]

"Les Sauf-conduits est tiré de Casablanca, où jouaient Humphrey Bogart et Ingrid Bergman. Ce film d'une heure, dans lequel Luc Picard joue son premier rôle au grand écran, sera la rampe de lancement de Manon [Briand]. Les critiques sont excellentes, le film va de festival en festival, remportant plusieurs prix."
-- Jean-Paul Soulié (source)
