Watch it tonight if you want a masterclass in psychological suspense—this 1955 French thriller is a genuine classic that basically invented the modern horror-thriller formula, and that bathtub scene alone is worth the price of admission. The cat-and-mouse game between the two women and the detective will keep you wound tight for every minute.

Plot

The wife and mistress of a cruel school master collaborate in a carefully planned and executed scheme to murder him. The plan goes well until the body, which has been strategically dumped, disappears. The psychological strain starts to weigh on the two women when a retired police investigator begins looking into the man's disappearance on a whim.
