Viala, Andre Cheff, Gregoire Aslan, Carette, and Yves Montand (as the singing commentator!). Note that this is black comedy at its very blackest, including the snowman shown on the French and Yugoslavian posters, which the murderers have used to conceal a dead body! Also note that Yves Montand does a "singing commentary" that relates to the plot over the soundtrack, and this was used in the classic movie "High Noon" the following year.
