Diabolique

Are you sick to death of all the cop shows on TV? The movies at the local Bijou are no better. There's never any real mystery, but always plenty of cars blowing up.

How about a real mystery in which you can solve the case yourself?

Check out Diabolique, a terrific murder mystery by director H.G. Clouzot. Filmed in stunning black and white, this movie is both mysterious and beautiful.The plot involves a school's brutal headmaster who mistreats both his wife and his mistress. Then the two woman develop an involved scheme to murder their common enemy.

From that point on, everything that happens is a surprise.

Look it up. You'll like it.
