    The shrew and the slut conspired to murder the wicked husband, and the huge suspense remained until the end. The most abominable and damnable thing is that stupid woman. She is overwhelmed by failures, nervous, and always looks like a fool to die. She confessed before she made any trouble. The finale is really satisfying, dying well. The disappearance of the corpse is inexplicable. I didn't think of the truth of the conspiracy until a minute before the mystery was solved. In terms of a suspense...

    A sober narrative trick that reconstructs the facts through the layout of encounters. The details are handled extremely finely, and there are constant external stimuli to mobilize the characters' reactions; the role of the glass-smashing child is wonderful, and the truth revealed has become an open suspense. The French...

    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...

    Damn, such a boring first half actually ushered in such an awesome climax, such an awesome scene scheduling, first a typical 400-style boarding school, followed by a typical love scene of two women and one man, and then murder , and then the Hitchcock-style "MacGuffin" suspense, and finally ushered in an "unbelievable genre film ending". Holy...

    It's a pity, halfway through, I remembered that "Story" described the key plot of the movie in detail, otherwise I would have been so frightened. . . Awesome twisted story, and the little boy setting is fun...

    What did Henry Clouzot have against his wife Vera Clouzot? Why do I always think he takes pleasure in torturing and abusing his wife in the movies? Not only in "Devil", but also in "The Price of Fear". Thinking of Hitchcock's perverted psychology of blond women, is it really easy for a husband with a dark heart to become a master of thrillers? PS: South American girls are beautiful and like Vera Clouzot and her...

    From lily film ghost film to detective law program. Clouzot is comparable to Hitchcock, and I feel that this film is better than many Xifa's works. Occurring in daily murders, the character's psychological confession lines are almost as many as dialogues, and the confession scene overlooks those sophistry and lies, and her kindness makes her unlucky. The child's voice is still the same, what horrors are hidden from the...

    It turns out that Hitchcock also learned from others. The suspenseful effects and audiovisual language are really good, but this ending got me. . While shocked, I couldn't believe it at the same time, because the mistress was such a strong woman, how could she do such a thing for a straight man with cancer? It’s totally unreasonable (although I actually guessed it in the middle, but I can’t believe it’s true (sorry for...

    Film study notes

    Far better than imagined. I must have seen more than one other film of this type, maybe Hitchcock did too.
        Suspense, thriller, suspense should be the first and foremost weapon. This film basically finds out that the principal is gone and knows that it is the female teacher and the principal who...

    Everyone has a devil in his heart

    A good movie, just watch it again. Movies that have to be watched several times, or there is no way to pass the time. For example, there were not a few movies in that era, and there were only a few in the theater, and the TV would be rebroadcasted. If it looks good, you will follow it; there is...

    Christina Delassalle: There is no danger. I can swim.

    Plantiveau, le concierge: That don't mean a thing. It's always the ones who know how that get drowned. The ones who can't, don't go near the pool.
