It stars Jeanne Moreau, Charles Denner, Alexandra Stewart, Michel Bouquet, Michael Lonsdale, Claude Rich and Jean-Claude Brialy. Truffaut, a Hitchcock admirer, used Bernard Herrmann to score the film. The film's costumes were designed by Pierre Cardin.
It is a revenge film in which a widow murders the man who accidentally shot her husband on her wedding day, as well as his four friends. She wears only white, black or a combination of the two.
