Enough Rope 11/02/24

aka Le Meurtrier.   Taken from a story by Patricia Highsmith, director Claude Autant-Lara’s murder thriller can boast an attractive cast: Maurice Ronet, Gert Fröbe, Robert Hossein, Marina Vlady and Yvonne Furneaux. The slick production, good music and committed performances can’t be faulted, but the point gets lost amid a lot of yelling. Just the same, Hossein and Fröbe know how to enliven a scene, and the location work is a travelogue to Nice of 1963. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
