介绍：黑白密室偵探片，十個角色，一女九男，其中一個是兇手「過去我沒聽說過這戲，為了拍《8美千嬌》，我看了一遍，令我獲益良多，對那年代的美國電影瞭解得更清楚。」（奧桑）《Marie-Octobre》很寫實，是齣沉重的電影，拍得一板一眼。奧桑往相反方向走　－　輕鬆、非寫實、七彩、諷刺（人物互相指控而來）。 同類克里斯蒂式偵探片，奧桑較喜歡佳咸美頓（Guy Hamilton：《破鏡奇案》(The Mirror Crack'd)，《午日奇屍》(Evil under the Sun)，還有Sydney Lumet的《東方快車》。《8美千嬌》參照此片最多的是佈景設計，像客廳、書房、睡房、飯廳等。

介绍：阿兰．德龙主演的这部犯罪动作片，摒弃了一般银行抢劫后分赃不均而终被逮捕的老套情节，把劫宝的场面安排在飞机上进行，结局则是因家族内一次无意揭发的奸情而致西西里部落全被逮捕影片布局可谓层次分明，有峰回路转之妙。从开幕西西里家族营救囚车中的萨丹开始，便推展出不少戏剧性的高潮，如阿兰．德龙如何外出召妓惹祸；保险公司随员的太太如何发现丈夫不在飞机上而在报警时认出阿兰．德龙；探长如何监视阿兰．德龙的妹妹而使西西里兄弟被捕等，这些设计都能顺里成章而前后呼应。

介绍：The last year of life of the Italian-French painter Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) who died with 36 years, was played by Gérard Philipe, who was lethally sick during the shooting of this movie and died shortly after its release, 1959, with 36 years - on one of the two diseases that Modigliano had himself and exactly in his age. Further, this movie was directed by Jacques Becker - after the sudden death of Max Ophüls. Becker, too, died only 2 years after this movie.
