In French … 116 minute running time so at least 20 minutes too long … this is a movie with a twist and bits and pieces of it have been endlessly copied and imitated ever since, so it’s a classic in that sense … I liked it and you should see it, but it doesn’t get a green-go, since it’s too long and evil at its heart … French censors handled nipples under thin nighties differently from American censors, but you still couldn’t get away with crime in 1954.
