Les Diabolique (1954)

The wife and mistress of a sadistic boarding school headmaster drown him in the bathtub and dump his body in the school's filthy swimming pool. When the pool is drained, the body has disappeared, and subsequent sightings of the headmaster slowly drive his killers (and the audience) crazy with the almost unbearable suspense. Directed by Henri-Georges Couzot, written by Couzot and Pierre Boileau. In French with English subtitles. This is a free event cosponsored by LSC and the Large Events Funding Board.
