Description
The unsurpassable duo of Belmondo and Deneuve are teamed for this suspenseful and oddly romantic story of a tobacco farmer and the mail-order bride who is not quite what her correspondence made her out to be. For this homage to his mentor, Alfred Hitchcock, Truffaut adapted a double-cross-filled story by American writer Cornell Woolrich (Rear Window).
