Comments: The headmaster of a French boarding school for boys is abusive of his wife, Christina, and beats his mistress, Nicole. The two women take off early together on vacation. The wife telephones the abusive husband and demands a divorce. He responds by taking the evening train to them. They resolve to drown him.
This clever suspense film is French and kept me guessing. The climax is quite shocking and unique. It's based on a novel. Recommended!
