Trivia
- Isn't Life a Bitch? was remade as Scarlet Street by Fritz Lang in 1945.
- François Truffaut twice pays hommage to Isn't Life a Bitch? in his first full-length film, The 400 Blows. In the first reference, Georges Flamant makes a cameo as the father of René. In the second, Truffaut begins a scene with a shot involving a dumbwaiter; Renoir began Isn't Life a Bitch? with a similar shot.
