Description of this The Crow Movie Poster
The Crow is a 1943 French film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and starring Pierre Fresnay, Micheline Francey, and Pierre Larquey. The film is about a French town where a number of citizens receive anonymous letters containing defamatory information, particularly targeting a doctor accused of providing abortion services. The mystery surrounding the letters eventually escalated into violence.
The film caused serious problems for its director after World War II because it was produced by Continental Films, a German production company established near the beginning of the occupation of France, and because the film was perceived by the underground and communist press as defaming the French people. For this reason, Clouzot was initially banned from directing in France for life, but after protests, the film was banned until 1947. The film was suppressed until 1969. It was remade as The 13th Letter (1951) by Otto Preminger.
In a small French town identified as “anywhere,” anonymous poison letters are sent by someone signing “Le Corbeau” (the crow). The letters begin by accusing Dr. Remy Germain of having an affair with Laura Vorzet, the pretty young wife of elderly psychiatrist Dr. Vorzet. Germain is also accused of performing illegal abortions. Letters are then sent to virtually the entire town’s population, but they keep returning to the original victim, Dr. Germain. The situation becomes increasingly serious when a hospital patient commits suicide with his straight razor after the raven writes to him that his cancer is terminal.
Laura Vorzet’s sister, Marie Corbin, a nurse in the infirmary, becomes suspicious and is arrested, but more letters soon arrive. When a letter is dropped into a church from a gallery, it becomes clear that the raven must be one of the people seated at the time. They are brought together to rewrite the raven’s letters dictated by Dr. Vorzet, to compare the handwriting. Germain’s lover, Denise, falls under suspicion when she faints during dictation, only for Laura to be identified by material found on her blotter. Germain agrees to sign an order committing Laura as insane; he is called to attend to Denise, who has fallen downstairs, but before leaving Laura, she writes the first letters of the raven as Dr. Vorzet begins dictating them, making him the real raven. Just as the ambulance takes Laura away, Germain returns to retrieve Dr. Vorzet dead at his office, his throat slit by the cancer patient’s mother as he wrote the triumphant final letter of the raven.
