Edouard Dermit

Édouard Dermit (born Antoine Édouard Dermit; 18 January 1925 – 15 May 1995), also credited as Dermithe, was a French actor, painter, and cultural archivist. Over his lifetime, Dermit evolved from an untrained actor into the universal legatee and preserver of Cocteau's immense artistic heritage. In 1947, he met Jean Cocteau at a bookstore in Paris.

The movie was primarily shot in the dramatic, white chalk grottoes of Les Baux-de-Provence.

At the time of his death, Cocteau left behind extensive drawings and blueprints for the frescoes of a small chapel in Fréjus.
