Trivia Originally, the film was written by Henri-Georges Clouzot. He began filming in 1964, with Romy Schneider and Serge Reggiani in the main roles. Due to the health problems of Reggiani and Clouzot himself, he was never able to finish Inferno (1964). Claude Chabrol acquired Clouzot's screenplay and adapted it, updating it for the 90s, for his version. See more »
