L'epouvante review

6/10

"Leggy Folies Bergere star Mistinguett stars as a stage actress who retires to her boudoir only to spy a hand stealthily reaching out from beneath her bed. The hand belongs to Emile Mylo, playing a burglar who finds himself clinging to loose guttering after evading police during a rooftop chase. Director Albert Capellani generates a nice degree of tension in the earlier moments of this fast-paced thriller, but it loses momentum in the second half...."
