Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cayatte released this simultaneously with 'Jean-Marc ou La vie conjugale' — a radical 1964 experiment in cinematic perspective that predated Rashomon's influence on Western filmmaking.
Marie-José Nat and Jacques Charrier were actually married during filming, then divorced shortly after — making this either method acting or eerie prophecy.
