The bride Wore Black
This Francois Truffaut thriller is based ona novel by William Irish (aka Cornell Woolrich),
whose books had been adapted by Alfred Hitchcock on many previous occasions. Jeanne Moreau
stars as a woman whose fiancé is nastily murdered by five men. Utilizing a series of
disguises, the cool-customer Moreau tracks down all five culprits, sexually enslaves them, and
then engineers their deaths. The ominous musical score was written by Bernard Herrmann,
another frequent Hitchcock collaborator. The Bride Wore Black was initially released in France
as La Mariee etait en Noir. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
