Re: Great, great, great Clouzot movie

Aren't they all? Add a few more "greats"... Great actors, Great story, Great atmosphere, Great filmmaking
I think his real strength as a director is that the mixture of Gallic noir, and Black and White film, is tempered with a very fine balance of humor that keeps the viewer intrigued and distracted at the same time; it's subtle, clever and very "Hitchcock"
The Adjani/Stone Les Diaboliques remake totally missed this, and devolved into simple horror which was a mistake the original (thankfully) never made
Even Cathy Bates couldn't save that one
