Truffaut also did The Bride Wore Black. Having seen both, I
am just not happy with Truffaut messing with this material.
The Bride Wore Black may be one of the worst films by a major
director that I've ever seen. I even hated the film stock and
the lighting. It's really, really bad. Mississippi Mermaid --
the only true epic of noir -- was better with Belmondo and
Deneuve but it still didn't get there. Anglina Jolie and
Antonio Bandaras also starred in a version. I'm trying to
find all the major films of Woolrich for a separate
essay.
