Le Salaire de la peur
The film featured two Clouzot regulars: Pierre Larquey as M. Drain and Noël Roquevert as M. Herboux. Michel Serrault made his screen debut as M. Raymond, one of the schoolteachers. Charles Vanel—who previously co-starred in Clouzot's "The Wages of Fear"—was cast as the seemingly inept Inspector Fichet.
