A taut, well-acted French thriller from the '50s.
Michel (Paul Meurisse) is the principal of a private boys school in France. His wife Christina (Vera Clouzot) owns the place, and his mistress Nicole (Simone Signoret) is a teacher at the school. The affair between Michel and Nicole is hardly secret to the boys or the other teachers, and the two... Read full review »
Diabolique Is Nothing Less Than Diabolical!
Henri-Georges Clouzot's film, Diabolique, is described on the Internet Movie Database as crime/horror/mystery/thriller and I would call it a little more thriller than typical horror.

What is great...

truly diabolic
The french film adaptation of the book Les Diaboliques, by Boileau-Narcejac, definitely fits its title. I watched this movie for a french class along with the American movie; while the American movie is more likely to make you jump in your seat, the original film by Clouzot conforms much more to...
