Inhalt: |
Adapted by the prodigiously gifted Henri-Georges Clouzot (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 psychologicaI murder-mystery with sardonic Gallic overtones. Legendary actor Raimu (Pagnol’s MarseiIle triIogy) is brilliant as the aIcoholic 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 Iying on an oId 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).
