Le Corbeau


Le Corbeau The Raven is a 1943 French film directed by HenriGeorges Clouzot. The film caused serious problems for its director after World War II as it had been produced by Continental Films, a German production company established near the beginning of the Occupation of France, and because the film had been perceived by the underground and the Communist press as vilifying the French people. Because of this, Clouzot was initially blocked for life from directing in France and the film too was suppressed, although both bans only lasted until 1947. The film was remade as The 13th Letter 1951 by Otto Preminger.

The film is loosely based on an anonymous letter case that had begun in the town of Tulle, Limousin in 1917. Anonymous letters had been sent by somebody signing the eye of the tiger.
