Original early 1970s German A1 poster for a re-release of the 1955 French film. From the collection of noted film historian Amos Vogel. Full provenance available. The greatest film that Alfred Hitchcock never made, Henri-Georges Clouzot's Diabolique is set in a provincial boarding school run by headmaster Michel Delasalle (Paul Meurisse). A ruthless Lothario, he becomes the target of a murder plot concocted by his long-suffering invalid wife Christina (Vera Clouzot, the director's own spouse) and his latest mistress, an icy teacher played by Simone Signoret. A dark, dank thriller with a much-imitated "shock" ending, "Diabolique" is a masterpiece of Grand Guignol suspense. The simple murder plot goes haywire, and Michel's corpse disappears, prompting strange rumors of his reappearance which grow more and more substantial as the film careens wildly towards its breathless conclusion. 23 x 33 inches, non-archivally mounted on board. Moderate rubbing and light staining, solid Very Good overall. Shipping billed at cost. Item can only be shipped within the US. Buss, French Film Noir. Criterion Collection 35. Grant France.
