by Louis Chavance (novel); Otto Preminger (director); Howard Koch (screenwriter); Linda Darnell, Charles Boyer, and Michael Rennie (starring)
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1951. Original pressbook for the 1951 film noir. Based on the French novel, "Le Corbeau" ("The Raven") by Louis Chavance.
The sixth of director Otto Preminger's seven classic "chamber noirs," a remake of the French noir masterpiece, "Le Corbeau" (1943, Henri Georges Clouzot). A testament to Production Code-era antagonism, Preminger pushed the limits of alllowed sexual content. A mile marker for films that would lead to the Code's end in the late 1950s.
