An early effort by Jean-Pierre Melville, famous later for gangster films, adapted from an immoral tale by Jean Cocteau having to do with the destructive relationship of a bratty brother and sister, too close to one another, and too closed off from everyone else. It's more Cocteau than Melville (notably in the chiselled, fragile beauty of the young men), although the direction is often much smoother than Cocteau's own. With Nicole Stephane. (1949) — Duncan Shepherd
