hi everyone
Cornwell Woolrich is very known in France as
William Irish. He is one of my favorite autor, and at the age
of twenty I read everything he wrote. There is another French
film with Jeanne Moraeau adapter from "The bride werre in
black". I don't if it's the orginal tile; i just translante
the French tile "la mari饠鴡it en noir". it was au vey good
movie; in my opinion, better than Truffaud movie. In the
eigthies there also was the adaptation of "j'ai 鰯us頵ne ombre"
(I apologise: I dont know the original tile) made by an
american film-maker, robin somethin i think, with nathalie
Baye and the spanish actress, Victoria Abril. And tjhere also
was in america the adpatation of "Blac Alibi" made by the
Franch maurice tourneur. "Black alibi" was the first woolrich
novel I've read; the suspens was so exicting, so amazing that
i felt in lolve, in a litterary xay of course, of this
author.
Best whishes

Waltz Into Darkness has been made into film at least twice.
Once by Truffaut -- with Belmondo and Deneuve, no less -- as
Mississippi Mermaid and Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas
had a go in Original Sin. Since Waltz Into Darkness is my
favorite Woolrich and may be my favorite all-time noir novel,
I was disappointed by both films. At least Truffaut didn't
turn it into a comedy as he did with Down There.
