Scoundrel in White

Directed by Claude Chabrol

Produced by Rizzoli Film, Cerito Films

A darkly comedic satire on masculine vanity and marital hypocrisy, where a cynical paraplegic's murderous obsession exposes the rot beneath bourgeois respectability.

Paul, a former womanizer, marries the head of the medical department's "unattractive" daughter Christine because he thinks attractive women can't be trusted and make poor wives. A car accident leaves him bedridden and he begins to miss his playboy days, when Christine's bombshell sister Martine arrives and Paul decides he must have her. He begins drugging Christine at night so he can sneak out to kill of Martine's many suitors one by one.
