The plot is old-fashioned now, but it will be very powerful in 1955

But what is being watched is a modern audience, who naturally looks at it from a modern perspective.

So so, the plot is pretty old-fashioned, just three levels. The first floor thinks that killing, 20% of the husband and girlfriends, and the third floor is the heroine.

And no one died, the evidence is obviously insufficient, even if it is heard by a policeman? The hostess is not dead either.

Attempted murder is not counted, is it scary to death? And there was a problem with the soundness of the law in that era.

And if you have the final say, the heroine was also involved in the murder before, and the charge is the same.

As a result, divorce is legally more convenient at best.

In fact, if you want to get a divorce, hire a lawyer, or can a detective find out the reason for the divorce?

The advantage is that the female lead acting skills are really amazing. The plot was amazing in 1955, 8.5 points are too high, 7.5~8.0.

    In 1955, it was such a complex, ingenious and unexpected plot that Clouzot asked viewers not to spoil their friends at the end of the credits. It's still very good now, but the reversal of the plot is no longer magical (because it has been imitated too much), and I guessed the ending after seeing two-thirds of the time, so the climax of the ending, the sense of horror is weakened Too much.

    A typical suspense film, the plot arrangement is very compact and rigorous, and the suspenseful atmosphere is full of tension. It can be said that it has absorbed a lot of nutrients from American black silk. The most exciting thing is the ending. The scene where the male protagonist stands up from the swimming pool is really classic. It's amazing enough to reverse a dragon and then go on to an open ending.
