Thanks rockmedrzaius for posting this rare film.I haven't seen it for more than 28 years or more.It's nice to see it again as an adult,I still really like it.It should have got an official dvd release
@thebaby2436 - This was from the 70's, so there's your answer right there. Although I do think that the 3 lead characters are all quite good looking other than the odd hairdo's.
I think we're looking at 2 schools of thought here. The first two films, Les Diaboliques and Reflections of Murder were more about building suspense and surprising the audience. The last two films, House of Secrets and Diabolique were less concerned with these elements and were more about building on the existing storyline.
I've always thought Sam Waterston is a handsome man. Now I see he was handsome back then too. He's such a fantastic actor...really captures the screen.
This could be the very first film I ever saw. I was four or five (pre-school definitely) and watched it on ITV on a Sunday night with my sister and my mum (yes, i remember details like that vividly). Thank you so much for uploading this, it's a big find for me :-)
great to see movies i havent sen,,thanks for uploading ,,youll like my mother was good..must fun to see your self in a movie..boojidad mind you 2010 and women are still no futher ahead,,mans world we just cant win,men cant stand a women smarter than them,,very few,sad sad
This movie is an unintentionally hilarious camp premake of the version in the 90's with Sharon Stone and Chazz Palmwhatever. This one is better due to overblown lesbo subtext right down to the bowl hair cuts and Sam Waterston as the creepy annoying villian. So ridiculously seventies with the stilted dialoque and plump little Lance Kerwin- I loved it!
I got to be in this when I was a kid (one of the many rugrats you see running about throughout the film) - we had no idea of the story at the time but we got out of school for a week, got to be in a movie, got fed and got paid! How cool was that?
We had rain here in NY yesterday so we (friends and family) decided to sit around and watch this movie. This is one of those films you must add to your movie collection. I've must have seen this movie 1000 times already. I LOVE IT!
Thank you so much for uploading this- not only am I a fan of Diabolique, but I'm also a big Tuesday Weld fan, and I've always wanted to see this movie! Thank you!
Last september I 've got ,from internet, information about it and I knew the original name. IN Buenos Aires I saw it with an other name (Angustia de un crimen).
Scuse me because of my english (is a disaster) and THANK YOU for uploading this film!!!!
I was alone watching tv and my heart was acelerated. Years after I knew that the story is the same of 'Diabolique' of Clouzot (1954). But i wanted this version!!!! I remember that the following day I asked my piano teacher to learn the music of the film, the Preludio and Fuga in Do Minore, of Bach. He let me play it and even today I can play it and well!!
I had tried to know some information of this TV movie but it was always in vain.
I can't believe it! I was remembering this film in the last days of september! I saw it when i was a child, in the 70s, at tv. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I could never forget it. It was so shocking for me, specially the critical moment of the film, that I had to stand up and turn on the light.
Thanks for this. Somehow managed to miss seeing this when I was a kid so it is a real treat to be able to find it again.

Just my 2 cents.

@eos008 Trust me..it's more effective than the 1996 disaster with Sharon and Isabelle Adjani...
