I had a horrible English dubbed version downloaded. Still, loved every minute of it. Truffaut said that working in color changed the intended emotional tone of the film, and he disliked it. I can't imagine this film being any better.

Truffaut interviewed Hitchock extensively and here is his tribute...a wonderful, nearly giddy "thriller" with Jeanne Moreau looking stunning and a GREAT supporting cast!

Gut's saying 4-star but memory is telling me 3. With Jeanne, Herrmann, the set-ups, and the basic premise, I feel like it should have been a lot more satisfying/entertaining than it ultimately was.

Interesting take on Hitchcock territory. As homage, it succeeds.

Truffaut's homage to Hitchcock was a half baked affair. They say imitation is the sincerest act of flattery but sometimes imitation is just that. Jeanne Moreau is great in a part in which she basically shows no emotion sphinx like. Herrmann's score quite good for the period and just re-emphasizes compariision to Hitch. Not a waste by any stretch, quite frankly worth watching for the costuming alone.

Tarantino was inspired by everything when he make 'Kill Bill.'

Truffaut takes his turn at revenge with some very interesting results. Not one of his best, but then I'm always a sucker for Jeanne Moreau

Fine Hitchcock homage replete with excellent Bernard Herrman score and a ace performance from Jeanne Moreau. It may not be on a par with the master but its still an interesting film none the less

Truffaut's homage to Hitchcock. The story is fairly interesting and Jeanne Moreau is really SUPERB, but Truffaut lacks exactly what made Hitchcock a master of cinema, technique and tension.

I recently saw this movie, having borrowed the bland MGM DVD from the library. It may not be my favorite Truffaut film, but I still found it enjoyable.

Not an entirely successful, but still enjoyable, stab at a ‘Hitchcockian’-esque caper. Both Jeanne Moreau and Bernard Herrmann’s work dazzles and saves this film from being just average.

and tarantino claims he never saw this film, for those who havent seen it take a look and sit back and laugh as you see how much of a cinema thief Tarantino is

This is easily one of Truffaut's finest, I can't believe it's taken me so long to see it. Anchored on the flawlessly brooding Jeanne Moreau, the film is filled out with a superb supporting cast, particularly the great Jean-Claude Brialy. A superbly directed thriller, "The Bride Wore Black" is grade-A Truffaut, made before his passion for narrative won out over his passion for ecstatic cinematic invention.

Stylish revenge thriller by François Truffaut, who I think was rather too ponderous, subtle and out of his element everytime he tried to get into Hitchcock territory; but with the macabre Bernard Herrmann in the music, and the sophisticated and calm Jeanne Moreau; he had winning aces.

A mostly effective Hitchcockian thriller from Truffaut. Certainly not his best, but worth a watch.
