A crime of passion and its irreversible aftereffects intrude upon the equanimity of French bourgeois lives, rather paradisiacally pictured by Claude Chabrol. His would-be critical observations of the milieu are rather deflatingly squeezed between his encouragement of Stephane Audran's slinky, glamorpuss posturings and his own slick emulations of his favorite filmmakers (Hitchcock, Lang, and himself). (1969) — Duncan Shepherd
