Episode 155 - Diabolique

Let’s do it like the French do! “Diabolique,” or as its known in France, “Le Diabloque,” is a suspenseful, supernatural (???), murder-mystery thriller from the mid-1950’s... a twisted, turning, tense, tale of deception that, although not without a few issues we address, ultimately was a really well-constructed yarn. Earning a double “rent,” it’s another one that’s considered a classic for good reason.
