Thérèse Raquin (1953)
A mostly interesting noir-ish drama by Marcel Carné, based on the novel by Émile Zola. However, for being based on a novel by a naturalist author and adapted by a director known for realism, it's such a movie. There are way too many unrealistic literary devices at play here to really be drawn in, but the film is still held together by some excellent performances (especially by Simone Signoret) and some truly wonderful sequences. Worth a watch.
