That’s sort of by design. The organization has made a point to try to negotiate policies out of the public view, even if it means developing a reputation as a kind of secretive Postal Illuminati. “That’s why it’s so effective,” John told me. “It keeps itself out of politics.”

The English title is a literal translation of the French but misses its meaning, as the French title refers to the idiom "faire les quatre cents coups", which means "to raise hell". On the first prints in the United States, subtitler and dubber Noelle Gillmor gave the film the title Wild Oats, but the distributor did not like that and reverted it to The 400 Blows. Before seeing it, some people thought the film covered the topic of corporal punishment.[6]
