Le Corbeau (1943) Entertaining French who-dunnit with a unique premise; small-town life is brought to chaos by hundreds of vile poison-pen letters signed by The Raven. The mark of a good mystery story is that it keeps you distracted enough that you don't ask all the why and how questions which would show the plot to be absurd and impossible, and this is a fairly good mystery story. Interesting characters and settings, well-presented. 8/10
