The English title is a literal translation of the French that fails to capture its meaning, as the French title refers to the idiom "faire les quatre cents coups", meaning "to raise hell". On the first prints in the United States, subtitler and dubber Noelle Gillmor translated the title as Wild Oats, but the distributor Zenith did not like that and reverted it to The 400 Blows.

I get goosebumps from Antoine’s life, how he behaves and survives; black and white cinema seems to me to give the mood to the film. It’s as if the little heroes are so grown up but still so childish(. Such situations, I think something similar still exists. Translated to English
A hymn to the love of freedom, a coming-of-age drama "The Catcher in the Rye." The difficult life of a home boy in the indifferent and deceitful world of adults. The answer to the elders is flight as a universal means of self-defense. Perfect cinematography by Truffaut and extraordinary cinematography by Deke. Translated to English
We are detecting yet another consumer deception. Well, 4, well, maximum 5 hits, but what does the title say? Draw your own conclusions Translated to English
