About This Item
In WWI-era France, aging, unprepossessing grifter Henri Désiré Landru (Charles Denner) hit on an effective manner of supporting the wife, kids, and mistress-by luring a string of lonely-hearts correspondents into affairs, murdering them, and helping himself to their holdings. Claude Chabrol's darkly comic take on the infamous case also stars Danielle Darrieux, Michèle Morgan, Hildegard Knef, Stéphane Audran, Juliette Mayniel. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack French; Subtitles French; audio commentary; theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles.
