-Some critics at the time pointed out that the French play was itself was based on and/or a modernised version of Marivaux's play '''''[[Le Jeu de l'Amour et du Hasard]]''''' (first performed 23 January 1730 by the Comédie Italienne at the Hôtel de Bourgogne), telling of a young woman who is visited by her betrothed, whom she does not know. To get a better idea of the type of person he is, she trades places with her servant and disguises herself. However, unbeknownst to her, her fiancé has the same idea and trades places with his valet. The "game" pits the two false servants against the two false masters, and in the end, the couples fall in love with their appropriate counterpart. (Marivaux's play was translated into English as ''[[The Game of Love and Chance]]'').
