Les Diaboliques ("The Devils"), also known as Diabolique, is a French suspense-thriller made in 1955 and directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, adapted from the 1952 novel Celle qui n'était plus ("She who was no more") by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac.The story is set at a run-down boys' boarding school on the outskirts of Paris. Christina (Véra Clouzot) and Nicole (Simone Signoret), who are respectively wife and mistress of the school's jerkass head master, Michel (Paul Meurisse), conspire to murder him. Shortly after they carry out the deed, however, his body disappears. And then things just get weirder from there.Rumpled, folksy detective Fichet, played by Charles Vanel, was the inspiration for Columbo.Remade in the U.S. twice, first as the 1974 Made-for-TV Movie Reflections of Murder (starring Joan Hackett as the wife, Tuesday Weld as the mistress, and Sam Waterston as the brutish husband) and then again as the 1996 theatrical film Diabolique (starring Isabelle Adjani as the wife, Sharon Stone as the mistress, Chazz Palminteri as the husband, and Kathy Bates in a gender-flipped role as the detective).Alfred Hitchcock was impressed enough to acquire the rights to another Boileau/Narcejac novel and turn it into Vertigo, and he later cited Les Diaboliques as a big influence on Psycho. Deathtrap was also a Spiritual Successor.There's also a quasi-remake from Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers studios, titled HEX. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: In the last scene, a kid claims to have talked with Christina, who died from a heart attack earlier. The boy is noted to be a notorious liar, but he was right when he said that he saw Michel earlier in the movie. So is he lying this time, or has he really encountered her ghost? Or did Christina survive her attack, just like Michel faked his death? | |

The Perfect Crime | |
| Les Diaboliques / int_d39d4b71 | comment |
The Perfect Crime: Subverted with Nicole's plan to kill Michel. It seems to be a perfect plan to murder him and to get off scot-free. It is a actually part of a perfect plan to kill Christina. Played seemingly straight but subverted, this time for real, with Michel and Nicole's plan to kill Christina. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
| Les Diaboliques / int_e431c24c | comment |
Not Quite Dead: Possibly. The film hints that the wife might have survived her heart attack. (Or that the kid saw her ghost. Or that the kid is a liar.) | |

Hate Sink | |
| Les Diaboliques / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Michel; it's telling how big an asshat he was when the woman who murdered him gets more sympathy, and then in the end Nicole joins him, with the reveal that she was in on the plot to terrify Christina into having a heart attack with the very much alive Michel all along. | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Les Diaboliques / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Michel slaps Christina after she spills alcohol on his suit – it's drugged, and she was trying to stop him from drinking it. She then goes ahead and lets him drink. | |

Faking the Dead | |

Faking the Dead: Michel wasn't dead at all. It was all a ruse to fool Christina, and literally frighten her to death. | |
