  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

      Clousot is completely different than Hich. The camera & the angle & the plot...Everything, Even if Sir Alfred did film an Boileau-Narjac book ( Birds ) .
      And if the French " film noir " did try to emulate some of the US production of the 40 / 50, it was never quite the same.
      And certainly not Hitchcook.

        Argue with *him* if you don't think it's subtle, etc.
