From the pen of acclaimed American novelist Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley) comes this rare gem of French neo-noir, Enough Rope (Le meurtrier), directed by Claude Autant-Lara (Devil in the Flesh). In a world inhabited by killers and cheats, architect Walter Saccard (Maurice Ronet, Purple Noon) is unhappily married to Clara (Yvonne Furneaux, The Champagne Murders). His idle interest in the spousal murder case of bookseller Melchior Kimmel (Gert Frbe, Goldfinger) becomes something more intense when the accused is acquitted, and Walter, who believes him guilty, strikes up his acquaintance. When Clara is found dead, Kimmel in turn believes Walter responsible, while a detective (Robert Hossein, The Road to Shame) suspects the two deaths to be connected in this twisting, suspense-drenched masterpiece of mainstream French cinema made at the height of the Nouvelle Vague. Co-starring Marina Vlady (Two or Three Things I Know About Her) and based on Highsmiths third novel, The Blunderer.
