Director Henri George Clouzot pushed his actors and actresses so hard - Sami Frey and Jacques Perrin were about to hit him in the face - that Brigitte Bardot tried to commit suicide after the shooting. She was too much implicated, involved in the Dominique character. She also said that this movie was the only one in her career which she was really proud of.
