El éxito de 'La otra Madre' ('Visages d´enfants', 1923), dirigida por Jacques Feyder, motivó que le ofreciesen la adaptación al cine de la novela de tintes autobiográficos de Jules Renard 'Pelo de zanahoria' o 'Zanahorio', que también se tradujo así en España. Feyder escribió un guión que no se llegó a producir y otra empresa le propuso el reto a Julien Duvivier, quien desarrolló su propio guión. El film de Duvvivier, tan cruel y emotivo como el libro que narra la desgraciada infancia y adolescencia de un niño maltratado por su madre hasta el punto de tratar de suicidarse en dos ocasiones, no ha perdido ni su capacidad de emocionar ni su sorprendente tratamiento innovador.
