john S @Spork-The-Brave Jul 26, 2026 It's slow moving, and my friend who watched it with me said it doesn't become even the least bit interesting for an entire hour, and that did not last for very long; but I vehemently disagree with her, as I thought it never became interesting. We both saw the twists coming from a mile away. Worse yet, we never cared about any of the characters or what might or did happen to any of them. There are so many other current and classic movies you could spend your 2 hours watching . . . or my friend says find a good book to read ... I say find some colorful paint to watch dry!

See more Lars N @movie_douche Mar 27, 2026 A beautifully shot early thriller with moments of great suspense, plenty of plot twists if somewhat illogical, convoluted and slow at times. See more Kevin L @Lakeman Feb 15, 2026 Another example of pre-70's acting that just seems wooden, unrealistic to me, so the full effect of the storyline doesn't hit like it could. That said, Director Clouzot & the screenwriters pull off the Hitchock-esque plot well enough that the big twist hit the target for me. Still implausible, sure, but it's a movie. The twist and the set-up that leads to it is not what the movie is 'about'. That's just how it is 'about' it. Per the acting, Signoret & Meurisse are the best of the lot. She's quite convincing as a jilted, abused lover hot for revenge. He's more than up to the task of being a lousy rat of a human being. But many others are a problem in there performances; particularly co-lead Clouzot. And what's the point of the very last scene? 3.2 stars See more Rich C. @RichieNoir Jan 27, 2026 Plenty of plot twists. See more Timothy W @Studster Jan 25, 2026 Hitchcockian at times with excellent acting. Could have used some more editing with some scenes going too long. The retired detective was too unbelievably engaged. See more Read all reviews
