French Classic Film DIABOLIQUE Alfred Hitchcock's Inspiration for PSYCHO

The 1955 French film, DIABOLIQUE is the movie that inspired Alfred Hitchcock
to make a thriller like PSYCHO, which was unlike any other film he had
made before.

Horror movie director William Castle stated in his autobiography that this was the film that inspired him for the next part of career; he understood that young generations of audiences seek terror and thrills.

This Award Winning motion picture by Henri
George Clouzot became a box office smash in 1955, held over at many movie theaters in the U.S. as well as around the world.
The highest-grossing French film in the United States at the time.

Q & A after the movie..

The Bijou opens at 6:30pm.
