Retour de manivelle

I don't remember if, precisely, this film is faithful to the Chase's book, which I have read several times, ( I think it is) but the overall scheme, topic is the same in many of the writer's books. Most of them actually. CHAIR DE POULE or DELIT DE FUITE were also adapted from Chase's stuff and also in the fashion, Chase's style. Michèle Morgan is perfect in the wife character, the flawless femme fatale, and Daniel Gelin the innocent bystander, like you and me, who is thrown in a criminal diabolical scheme of a wife seeking her husband's death, then facing an unexpected issue. Make a suicide, a real suicide, looking like a crime; the reverse scheme of the usual stories. This for obvious reasons, to get the indemnity from the insurance for which a suicide is not accepted to get the dol. A pure classic from Chase, I repeat.
