Les Diaboliques (1955)

[food4dogs]

We went down the rabbit hole with French author duo Boileau-Narcejac.

Never heard of them? Mon dieu! 😱 But you've heard of Vertigo, Hitchcock's famous movie .. right?

Well, that's based on a story by Boileau-Narcejac. So we re-watched Vertigo (1958). Great stuff. And old Hitch actually stuck pretty closely to the novel's storyline. B&N's trademark was a tight meshing of psychology (obsession and delusion in particular) with hard-boiled crime fiction, with just a soupçon of horror for a truly fiendish blend.

After that we naturellement had to watch the other great adaptation of a Boileau-Narcejac novel: Les Diaboliques (1955)!

None of the English title translations ever seem to quite hit that spot (Fiends comes closest), so Diabolique or Les Diaboliques it stays.

We spent hours the next day dissecting the movie. You can watch it as a straight-up thriller - or you can absorb everything Clouzot shows us. Starting with the very early shot of an old Citroen van driving through a puddle, focus on the tire flattening a child's folded paper boat into the mud.

There are many scenes about life in the boarding school, including the dopey misfits that pass for teaching staff. You may think that this is all extra baggage - but once you've reached the ending (what an ending!), wind back and consider how tightly each little 'flavour' scene helps underpin and enrich the story's driving force.

A note about the actors. Simone Signoret (on right) is always rightly acclaimed for her role. But to me, the actor who is the heart (literally - she has a serious heart condition) of this tragic tale is Véra Clouzot, the wife of director Clouzot.

Véra Clouzot starred in 3 of her husband's movies. She died young - aged 46 - in 1960, from a heart attack.

Her portrayal as the girlish, deeply religious wife of her schoolmaster husband is nothing short of revelatory.

A side note: Charles Vanel Plays the bumbling, retired police detective who reportedly served as the inspiration for Columbo. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/diabolique-1995

Les Diaboliques is available on YouTube in a quality transfer with closed caption English subtitles.

[indiejones]

THE 56 MOST BELOVED & POPULAR ACTRESSES OF WORLD CINEMA !  (OFFICIAL LIST-BASED ON INDIES SUBCONSCIOUS ASSESSMENT OF MOST CONSISTENTLY HIGHLY POPULAR ACTRESSES & BLOCKBUSTER FILMS OF WORLD CINEMA, INCL DATA FROM VARIOUS INDIES FILM LISTS & ALL OTHERS!)

Note: The point system used, to give audiences an idea of the magnitude of comparative popularities of listed actors, includes 2 factors:

1. A calculated AVERAGE of no. of tkts sold PER FILM in lead (80% weightage) & 2. No. of films released in lead (20% weightage)

(Also, the discrepancies in placements of the few actresses listed in American Popularity charts & World Popularity charts, arise due to the strict average rule adopted in this list, vis a vis the American or Bollywood Popularity ratings where different weightages were given for every 100 films in lead or so. This to minimize the bias from cultural cinema viewing preferences in different countries).

Are you ready for a French murder thriller/ghost story/character piece from the mid-1950s? We thought so! Move over Hitchcock! Director Henri-Georges Clouzot has the rights to the novel and the skill to write and direct Les Diaboliques (1955). If celebrated genre author Robert Bloch (Psycho) considers this his all-time favorite horror film, then the Classic Era Grue Crew just has to check it out! And they loved it! In fact, this is one of those movies that demands (at least) a second watch.

Shame on you if you listened to this podcast without first watching Les Diaboliques! At any rate, at the time of this writing, the film is available to stream from HBOmax, The Criterion Channel, and Plex. If physical media is your preference, Les Diaboliques (Diabolique) is available as a Blu-ray from Criterion.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Whitney, will be The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), another Ray Harryhausen extravaganza! Who doesn’t love ‘em some stop-motion?

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: leave them a message or leave a comment on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel, the site, or email the Decades of Horror: The Classic Era podcast hosts at [email protected]
