Featured review
It is one of films who offers so manz impressive gifts to its audience than is difficult to choice one more significant.
First, it is a war film, courageaous in profound sense, offering the precise message, defining an ordinarz realitzz not easz to be accepted or recognized.
It is one of great works of Clouzot , in which not the author of letters ( the mistery is less obscure than you suppose ) but the revelation, in precise manner, of basic, fundamental truths represents the main virtue.
It is the film, in same measure, defined by brilliant performances and by clear, precise verdict about essence of human nature.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the real story, the letters were signed "The Eye of the Tiger" and not "The Raven". The director chose the latter signature after the description of the accused made by a journalist during the 1922 trial: "She looks like a small bird who folded its wings." Interestingly after this movie the word "raven" stayed in the French language ("corbeau") to designate someone who sends anonymous letters. It is a very rare example of a movie expression influencing language.

[puts his head against her chest and listens for a few seconds]
