I diabolici (1955)
Moglie e amante di un direttore di collegio si mettono d'accordo e lo affogano nella vasca da bagno. Ma il cadavere scompare e i colpi di scena non si contano. Con un ottimo ritmo e una suspense ininterrotta, questo dramma criminale si srotola attorno alle due bravissime protagoniste, lo spettatore è con loro, attento e partecipe. Tratto dal romanzo Celle qui n'était plus (1952) di Pierre Boileau e Thomas Narcejac, ha il torto di puntare troppo sulla sorpresa. Il gioco è abile, ma il giocatore bara. Rifatto a Hollywood come Diabolique nel 1996. Premio Delluc 1955.AUTORE LETTERARIO: Pierre Boileau, Thomas Narcejac
