In Jean-Luc Godard's picture Une femme est une femme, Jeanne Moreau appears as herself. This becomes obvious because Jean-Paul Belmondo's character, while meeting her at a café, asks her: "How is 'Jules And Jim' coming?" Une femme est une femme was released in 1961, while Jules et Jim in 1962, but the reference exists because François Truffaut and Godard were friends at the time, and often collaborated in each other's movies.
Jeanne Moreau had to jump into a river because her stunt double turned up drunk. Moreau then had to spend 2 days ill in bed.
The production was so small and had so little money that Jeanne Moreau was often called upon to lend her Rolls Royce for ferrying around props. She even did some of the catering, particularly in the scenes where Jim visits Jules and Catherine in Germany.
