An enjoyable and subversive parody on both B-film horror stories from the 1950s and mental health caregivers by legendary French director Jean Renoir. It was made in black and white for French TV (using TV methods of filming, multiple cameras and with Renoir acting as TV host to introduce his film at the TV studio). The film’s best asset is Barrault’s dual performance as both good and evil characters. This was Barrault’s best performance since Children of Paradise. – Dennis Schwartz*

Actually, this may be one of my favorite takes on the Jekyll-Hyde story. – Dave Sindelar*
