"Truffaut, who at first had thought Bed and Board was the final Antoine Doinel film, wanted to give his character closure, and give Jean-Pierre Léaud his freedom." (Carole Le Berre). In Love on the Run, undertaken to bail out Films du Carosse, Truffaut has fun magnifying Antoine Doinel's character, and gives us flashbacks of the different characters from the previous sequels. "It seems ridiculous to have the chance to film an actor from the age of 13 to 30, to have all this material, and to not do something with it. (...) The problem Martine Barraqué and I encountered was how to homogenize so much contrasting material without losing the thread, without disappointing the audience when we return to the present after a flashback." (F. Truffaut)
