A who dunnit of the highest order from the "French Hitchcock", Le Corbeau is a gripping film noir in which a small town society cowers under an unseen hand. In the fictional St Robin, a poison pen letter writer is terrorising the inhabitants with barely a soul spared. Le Corbeau (The Raven) accuses them of adultery and deception, petty theft and drug addiction. Torn between a fear of their own exposure and a delight in others scandals, the hysterical townspeople fly into a flurry of paranoia and malicious finger pointing, until one of their number turns up dead.
