mr6666 Posted October 26, 2014 late Sun., 10-26 2:15 am ET 117 min suspense Diabolique (1955) A cruel man's wife and lover plot to kill him. Dir: Henri-Georges Clouzot Cast: Paul Meurisse , Vera Clouzot , Simone Signoret . LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: D: Henri-Georges Clouzot. Simone Signoret, Vera Clouzot, Paul Meurisse, Charles Vanel, Michel Serrault. "Tyrannical school- master (Meurisse) is bumped off by his long-suffering wife (Clouzot) and mistress (Signoret). Classic chiller builds slowly, surely to final quarter hour that will drive you right up the wall. A must. Older American prints run 107m. Aka LES DIABOLIQUES; remade for U.S. TV as REFLECTIONS OF MURDER (1974) and HOUSE OF SECRETS (1993), and for theaters in 1996. Rereleased theatrically in 1994 with 9m. of footage edited out of original U.S. theatrical version." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surrealism is always intriguing, and I enjoyed hearing the Czech, my father's native language. Thank you to TCM for this premiere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macocael Posted October 25, 2015 Wonderful line up. TCM Imports just gets better and better. Tonight, Andrei Rublev, an absolutely wonderful film, and a must for all Tarkovsky fans. But let me reiterate my only gripe: The TCM Imports are presented too late on a Sunday night for most Eastern Standard Time viewers. I think TCM ought to consecrate a separate night to the Imports, leave Sunday to the Silents (another wonderful TCM standard series), and give, say, Monday to the Imports. Start it off just a bit earlier so EST viewers other than nightowls can get a chance to see all these great movies -- start at 11 pm EST. That way people on the West Coast could see the movie at 8 and we on the East Coast wouldnt have to drink five espressos to stay up till the wee hours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
