The Bride Wore Black

French writer and director François Truffaut paid homage to Hitchcock with this thriller. A beautiful woman traces and kills the men she feels responsible for the death of her husband. Based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich, Truffaut uses the elements and themes of an Hitchcock film along with his own signature to deliver an effective and stylish drama. The ravishing Jeanne Moreau stars along a stellar supporting cast that includes Michel Bouquet, Jean-Claude Brialy, Charles Denner and Michael Lonsdale. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
