El guión, adaptado por Clouzot y otros tres guionistas a partir de una novela de Pierre Boileau y Thomas Narcejac, el equipo francés de novelas policíacas, es un artificio fantásticamente elaborado, pero el escrupuloso realismo de la dirección hace que la antinatural historia parezca totalmente verosímil.
