  Les Diaboliques was a top grossing film in 1955. Clouzot shrouded his film in mystery and also changed the original story of the novel, heterosexualising the original lesbian plot. This Cine-File sets Les Diaboliques against the political culture of its time and demonstrates the importance of Clouzot as a master of the thriller genre.
