Diabolique
Alfred Hitchcock coveted the film rights to the novel She Who Was No More by Boileau & Narcejac but Henri-Georges Clouzot got there first (by hours, apparently). Soon afterward Hitch snapped up one of the duo’s other novels, which became Vertigo. A worldwide suspense sensation, Les Diaboliques was widely influential and has been remade for television in 1974 (Reflections of Murder) and 1993 (House of Secrets) and for theaters in 1996.
