The writer, actor, and director Sacha Guitry emerged from the theater to become one of France s best-known and most inventive filmmakers, and La poison marked his first colIaboration with another titan of the screen, the incomparably expressive Michel Simon. With Guitry s witty dialogue and fleet pacing, the black comedy is the quintessential depiction of a marriage gone sour: after thirty years together, a viIIage gardener (Simon) and his wife (Germaine Reuver) find themselves contempIating how to do away with each other, with the former even planning how he II negotiate his eventuaI criminaI triaI. lnspired by Guitry s own post World War ll tangIe with the law a wrongful charge of coIIaborationism La poison is a blitheIy caustic broadside against the French legal system and a society aII too eager to capitalize on others misfortunes.
