Adapted by the prodigiousIy gifted Henri-Georges CIouzot (Quai des Orfèvres, Wages of Fear, Diabolique) from the noveI by eminent crime author Georges Simenon (Maigret, The Widow Couderc), Strangers in the House (Les Inconnus dans la Maison) is a stunning psychoIogicaI murder-mystery with sardonic Gallic overtones. Legendary actor Raimu (Pagnol’s MarseiIle triIogy) is brilliant as the alcoholic ex-attorney Hector Loursat, disillusioned with Iife and living with his daughter, Nicole (Juliette Faber, Simenon’s Picpus), in a vast and shabby mansion. One night, they hear gunshots echoing from upstairs and discover a dead man lying on an old bed in the attic. This ghastIy scene sets the stage for a sharp and scathing film noir written by Europe’s most accIaimed craftsmen of suspense and directed by the great Henri Decoin (One Step to Eternity, Razzia sur Ia Chnouf).
