The Deadly Trap (1971)
(La maison sous les arbres)
Country: FR/IT
Technical: Eastmancolor 96m
Director: René Clément
Cast: Faye Dunaway, Frank Langella, Barbara Parkins
Synopsis:
The wife of a reclusive physicist in Paris has been evincing unpredictable behaviour and memory lapses, an instability exploited by an organisation that is attempting to coerce her husband into continuing to cooperate.
Review:
Points in common with Don't Look Now (wintry settings in a European city, a transplanted couple, a child in a bright mac who goes missing) and the director's other work with children (Jeux Interdits, notably) add to the interest of this Hitchcockian psychological thriller, in which Dunaway is at her most ethereally beautiful.
