Probably the best loved of all Truffaut's films, "Jules et Jim" was an instant success with both the critics and the public when it opened in Paris in 1962. Telling of the friendship between Jules and Jim, and the love affairs they both have with Catherine, the story is set in Paris.

Henri-Pierre Roche was born in Paris on 28 May 1879. Part of the avant-garde scene in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, he was friends with artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia, and introduced Leo and Gertrude Stein to Picasso. Having been a journalist, art collector and dealer for most of his life, Roché only wrote his first novel, Jules et Jim, when he was in his seventies. Truffaut was so impressed by the book he made both it and Roché's second novel, Les deux anglaises et le continent (1956), into films. Roché died on 9 April 1959.
