The project was originally intended for Anthony Mann, who declined the offer and recommended Claude Chabrol instead. Chabrol took the job against the grain and once claimed that he had been drunk during most of the shooting.
The first movie set in World War 2 that Claude Chabrol directed. The others are: The Blood of Others (1984), Story of Women (1988), and the documentary The Eye of Vichy (1993).
