Actor and director Robert Hossein's (RIFIFI, CHAIR DE POULE) noir masterpiece and one of the great French thrillers of the fifties. One dark night, in the deserted streets of Nice, an car slowly drives past Victor Menda (Robert Hossein) and then pulls up. A come-on from the mysterious blonde at the wheel and Victor finds himself kissing and making love with the gorgeous creature. But as soon as the embrace is over, the mantis-like beauty rejects him and, under the threat of a gun, makes him leave the car. Worse, she tries - and nearly manages - to kill him by running over him. After the twisted encounter, he traces the license plates to the address of the monstrous nymphomaniac. To his amazement he discovers that in the villa - in front of which the car is parked - two identical twin sisters live together, both of whom look sweet and harmless, but which one is the psycho? Turn out the lights before watching this psychological cat- and-mouse thriller. Based on a Frederic Dard's novel "Night Is Not for Sleep".
