Diabolique
Diabolique (1956), Henri-Georges Clouzot:
The story is Clouzot beat Hitchcock by mere hours to the novel rights.
I was forewarned that after 50 years, the movie has lost its punch, which would fit, being my main complaint with much of Hitchcock's catalogue (but could hardly be his fault (Then again, the Orwellean thrillers haven't aged nearly as badly)). Back to the matter at hand, it took a while to get started, but the mystery fully captivated me; I really had no idea what was going to happen.
Has anyone seen the Sharon Stone remake?
