Sunday Matinee: Les daiboliques (1955)
18
Sunday, October 18 3:00 p.m. Grand Cypress Room/WDL Alfred Hitchcock said that this was the most frightening and artistic horror picture ever made, by his idol French director friend, Henri-Georges Cluzot. (Be assured no bloodshed occurs.) It stars Simone Signoret as the head mistress of a school whose Head Master dominates her and his wife. They conspire to murder him. There are many surprising twists and turns which lead to a climax that is unmatched, which takes place in a moonlit room of the house. Les diabolique was filmed in French with English subtitles.
