Crime and Punishment. Général Productions. Film. It is an adaptation of the 1866 novel of the same name by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The same year a separate American film adaptation was made featuring Peter Lorre.

The film's sets were designed by the art director Aimé Bazin. Chenal rejected Bazin's original designs as too realistic and historically faithful, as he wished to create a more expressionist ambience for the film.{{cite book|last=Dudley|first=Andrew|title=Mists of Regret: Culture and Sensibility in Classic French Film|publisher=Princeton University Press|orig-year=1995|year=2021|page=162|isbn=978-0-691-05686-9|lccn=94015486|url=https://archive.org/details/mistsofregretcul0000andr|url-access=registration}}
