From 1968 this was a highly structured revenge thriller which served as a showcase for the wonderful Moreau. She is in every scene...mostly without affect...and easily held my attention. Her screen presence towers above contemporary stars.
While the lighting and cine marked this as a 60's piece it succeeded in engaging me. Once I learned what was going on I wanted to see how it developed and resolved. It ended up being a little too pat...but, hey...it's only a movie...and a fun one at that.
This belongs in the first rank of FT films.
