It is based on the 1940 novel of the same name by Cornell Woolrich.A woman named Julie Kohler (Moreau) tries to jump out a window to her death, but is stopped by her mother. She then leaves her family. She stalks Bliss, a man who does not know her. She infiltrates a party that Bliss organizes and she kills him (she throws him off the balcony of his flat). Some time later, she begins stalking another man. Eventually, her motive is revealed: she is stalking, and murdering, five men who are responsible for the death of her husband on the day of her wedding.Bernard Herrmann composed the score.

Adaptational Villainy: Zigzagged. In the book, a hitman killed Julie's Reformed Criminal husband prior to the main story and the men Julie kills are innocent of his death, while in the film, they did kill him. On the other hand, in the book, the five men are habitual drunk drivers who enjoy driving on the sidewalk to make pedestrians dive out of their way, which is more reckless than the accidental gun discharge which killed Julie's husband in the film.

Asshole Victim: Downplayed. The victims of Julie are not outright villainous, but most of them are not nice. Bliss flirts with another woman the day before his marriage. Morane is a Sleazy Politician and he tries to cheat on his wife. When they receive the telegram about his wife's mother being very ill, Morane says that she's super-old and might as well just die. Delvaux is a criminal.

Accidental Murder: Delvaux was playing with a hunting gun and accidentally killed Julie's husband when Morane tried to snatch the gun from him.
