Editing Les Diaboliques (film) (section)

==Release==
The film created a sensation upon its original release and was a success at the box office with 3,674,380 admissions in France alone. It has often been likened to the films of [[Alfred Hitchcock]]; some sources say that Hitchcock missed out on purchasing the rights to the Boileau and Narcejac novel by just a few hours, Clouzot getting to the authors first.<ref>[[François Truffaut]], in his book-length interview ''Hitchcock/Truffaut'' (1967), suggested that Boileau and Narcejac then wrote ''[[The Living and the Dead (Boileau-Narcejac novel)|D'Entre les Morts]]'' specifically for Hitchcock, who adapted the latter book for ''[[Vertigo (film)|Vertigo]]'' (1958). However, Narcejac later refuted Truffaut's statement.</ref> The end credits contain an early example of an "anti-[[spoiler (media)|spoiler]] message".<ref name="gferraratcm">{{cite web |url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/73044/diabolique#articles-reviews |title=Diabolique (1955) - Articles - TCM.com |website=Turner Classic Movies |access-date=2017-01-24}}</ref>
