It's an enjoyable and entertaining film, albeit probably Truffaut's darkest and least sentimental work.

Reviews for The Bride Wore Black
Truffaut is such a poetic filmmaker that the film turns around and becomes, not at all Hitchcockian, but a gentle comedy and one of the few plausible and strange love stories in a long time.
Miss Moreau remains one of the screen's great actresses, and there is a supporting cast of unusual quality.
A chilling and tragic portrait of fractured psychology and shattered lives.
