Jacqueline Audry usually approached her text with great reverence, but here she was revisionist to the point of destruction. Quite why screenwriter Pierre Laroche felt it necessary to emasculate Jean-Paul Sartre's existential masterpiece remains a mystery. Yet it's plain to see what a disservice his decision to add extra characters and incorporate other-worldly flashbacks does to the relentless intensity of the original drama, in which a recently deceased trio discover the bitter truth that “hell is other people”. However, Arletty imparts some much-needed class as the ageing lesbian desperately trying to dissuade flirty Gaby Sylvia from hitting on homosexual Frank Villard.

Garcin, Ines et Estelle sont trois ames damnees qui se retrouvent aux portes du purgatoire. En racontant leur histoire, ils se decouvrent des trajets communs mais ne parviennent pas a s'entendre. Ils se rendent rapidement compte que sur la terre, ils seront vite oublies.
