What happens
The Bride Wore Black (French: La mariée était en noir, lit. 'The Bride Was in Black') is a 1968 psychological thriller film directed by François Truffaut from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jean-Louis Richard, based on the 1940 novel of the same name by William Irish, a pseudonym for Cornell Woolrich. It stars Jeanne Moreau, Michel Bouquet, Jean-Claude Brialy, Charles Denner, Claude Rich, Michael Lonsdale, Daniel Boulanger and Alexandra Stewart. Truffaut, a Hitchcock admirer, enlisted Bernard Herrmann to score the film. The film's costumes were designed by Pierre Cardin. The plot follows a widow who seeks revenge on the five men who killed her husband on their wedding day. Throughout the film, she wears only white, black or a combination of the two.
