La danse de mort (1948)

 A captain lives with his embittered wife and their daughter in an island where he is the commander of a military prison. The arrival of a physician who is an old friend of the couple shakes the already fragile foundations of their marriage. There is also a young prisoner who is summoned to work as a servant at the captain's house, and with whom the captain's daughter falls in love.

Interesting drama based on a theater play. The excellent cast is another great asset of the movie, which is never boring and manages to convey a claustrophobic atmosphere throughout its duration.

Rating: 54
