1955 thriller that creates a diabolical double-reverse plot that keeps the audience guessing right up to the final scene. It takes place in a French boys' boarding school run by a headmaster who makes life as unpleasant for the teachers as for the boys. Michael Delasalle is a sadist and a pinchpenny who serves the students rotten fish and slaps around his wife Christina, even though the school really belongs to her.
