The film is based on a book written by Georges Simenon in 1938: L'homme qui regardait les trains passer'. The book is superb and shows how an ordinary and law abiding citizen can suddenly change dramatically. Unfortunately, the film script is only loosely based on the book and many important parts have been left out and also changed. Do not bother watching this film. However, the book is worth reading.
