The title refers to a popular Greek protest slogan (, ) meaning "he lives," in reference to Lambrakis. A French and Algerian co-production, the film stars Jean-Louis Trintignant as the investigating magistrate, an analogue of Christos Sartzetakis, who would become the President of Greece from 1985 to 1990.

Buñuel and Carrière would go on to collaborate on '' Belle de Jour'' (1967), '' The Milky Way (1969)'', ''The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie'' (1972), '' The Phantom of Liberty'' (1974) and '' That Obscure Object of Desire'' (1977).
