Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Anatole Litvak's final film after a four-decade career including Sorry, Wrong Number and Anastasia.
Part of a wave of 1970s psychological thrillers obsessed with female protagonists whose sanity is weaponized against them—think Repulsion by way of the Côte d'Azur.
