Le Corbeau

Le Corbeau (The Raven) is a 1943 French film directed by Henri-Georges 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.
