Schedule
Tuesday, March 17, 2026
Run Time: 95min
Dir. Georges Franju, 1961, 95 min, DCP
Starring Pierre Brasseur, Pascale Audret, Marianne Koch, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Dany Saval, Jean Babilée, Georges Bever
Knowing he’s on death’s door, an old count (Pierre Brasseur) living in a sprawling castle, hides away in a secret room so his body won’t be found when he dies, ensuring his greedy family won’t inherit any money. They scramble to make ends meet and uncover the body… all while fresh corpses begin turning up. Franju’s follow-up to Eyes Without a Face is part Agatha Christie whodunit and part William Castle gimmickry, with a dash of giallo.
“Wonderfully atmospheric…another haunting score from Maurice Jarre, and throws in plenty of absurd humor.” – Time Out
