“Here is a fine production by Julien Duvivier.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI had the impression to be one of the castleu0026#39;s festivity and the arrival of the u0026quot;Visiteursu0026quot; added a mysterious ingredient that had, at the beginning at least, nothing of the despair that was part of their demoniacal mission.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe enchantment provoked by the satanic couple was a pure wonder. That momentary paralysis of a whole small world between two exciting scenes emphasized Arlettyu0026#39;s and Cunyu0026#39;s masterly talent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJules Berryu0026#39;s play (the Devil) was so fascinating that it made me longing for a ticket to Hell.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat high class u0026quot;fantasiau0026quot; glide far over all those easy big budget u0026quot;fantasticu0026quot; productions which flood the film fans since too long.”
