Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

kinsayder Two sisters live in a lonely mansion by the sea. One of them (Marina Vlady) is confined to a wheelchair. One of them, unknown to the other, goes out at night to entertain random strangers in the front seat of their convertible. But which one?The question acquires a fresh urgency when the latest "victim" (Robert Hossein) shows up on their doorstep. The sisters look so similar he can't decide which one he encountered the previous night. Neither seems the type. The sisters invite him to stay and an awkward ménage à trois develops - awkward because the unanswered question remains: which of the two is lying about her nocturnal excursions?This is the premise, and it's a thin one, but Hossein (who also directs) does a great job with the material, keeping the suspense going till the final scene. The direction is sleek and stylish, Vlady (Hossein's wife at the time) is jaw droppingly gorgeous, and there's a nifty jazz score by André Hossein. Put your disbelief on hold and enjoy.

Rob Cochran Actor and director Robert Hossein's (RIFIFI, CHAIR DE POULE) noir masterpiece and one of the great French thrillers of the fifties. One dark night, in the deserted streets of Nice, an car slowly drives past Victor Menda (Robert Hossein) and then pulls up. A come-on from the mysterious blonde at the wheel and Victor finds himself kissing and making love with the gorgeous creature. But as soon as the embrace is over, the mantis-like beauty rejects him and, under the threat of a gun, makes him leave the car. Worse, she tries - and nearly manages - to kill him by running over him. After the twisted encounter, he traces the license plates to the address of the monstrous nymphomaniac. To his amazement he discovers that in the villa - in front of which the car is parked - two identical twin sisters live together, both of whom look sweet and harmless, but which one is the psycho? Turn out the lights before watching this psychological cat- and-mouse thriller. Based on a Frederic Dard's novel "Night Is Not for Sleep".

stanistreet WHEN I first saw this film, in London, in 1958, I was bowled over. I had never seen a film like this before. It had a strange, hypnotic effect, quite unlike the films that I had seen previously and it left a lasting impact.I believe that Odile Versios & Marina Vlady are sisters, if not twins. Certainly the interaction is amazing in its power to influence the viewer.If this has been converted to DVD - in Region 2 format - and in the original French language, I would love to hear about it & where it can be purchased.
