Les Diaboliques

This 1955 French film, directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, got off to a good start as the opening scene features a nice citroen 2cv van, and I like French classic cars a great deal. The film is a suspenseful thriller about the wife and mistress of a bullying school headmaster planning to jointly kill him. The tension is nicely paced during the film, with a pleasing denouement. There is a very sweet little announcement at the end of the film asking the viewers not to reveal the twist in the tale, so I won't! I went to see the film at the Curzon Mayfair, which is probably my favourite cinema in London.
