[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 436829, member: 8"] Le Corbeau (1943) [ATTACH type="full"]58502[/ATTACH] Gosh, this poison-pen letters mystery looks surprisingly decadent for a film made in 1943. There's plenty of relatively obscene language in this story about sexual desires, adultery, abortion, drugs - even sex with a 14 y/o girl is considered a possibility. It's [I]Peyton Place [/I]on steroids. The reviews on IMDB read "dark, suspenseful, chilling, noir" but personally I didn't see much of that. All the whimsical and very bitchy humour made it impossible for me to take any of it too seriously, but I enjoyed it very much for what it was. The non-stop dictation test was hilarious. [I]Le Corbeau [/I]is energetic, sharp and sometimes brutal, and in fact a dark comedy that could be made today. All they'd have to do is to update the dialogue a little bit. I haven't seen [I]Wicked Little Letters [/I] so I don't know how it compares. [/QUOTE]
