French crime drama. Original title: La maison assassinée
After World War I, a young ex-soldier, Sébastien Monge, returns to his home village. Ignorant of his past, he learns that, 24 years before, his entire family was slain in their home one stormy night. Only Sébastien, then a four-month old baby, was spared.
Ingrid’s performance earned her a Cesar nomination as the Most Promising Actress. She lost to Catherine Jacob for Life Is a Long Quiet River. I guess the Academy made the right choice, because Jacob is still acting, and Held retired from the profession more than 30 years ago. She is now an art historian and lecturer.
But she was a righteous babe in this film. (The screen grabs aren’t that impressive, but the video below gives you a better idea of her appeal.)
(Wikipedia has a 2018 picture of her, and she still looks great.)
Defoe’s film clip is here.
Whoa, Scoopy. This is the pert-tittied cherry on top of a whole basket of Easter nudity. Really restores my faith in egg-laying rabbits!
Definitely the kind of woman you’d want to, er, talk Watteau or Cezanne with.
You are right, the video is excellent.
