Bluebeard on Film

  • 381px-monsieur_verdoux57_large

The tale of Bluebeard — the most notorious interpreter of that sacred, 'til-death-do-apart phrase — has long been a favorite for cinematic adaptation, many very memorable. There's post-Tramp Chaplin in his fantastically acerbic Monsieur Verdoux and Lubitsch's romp Bluebeard's Eighth Wife. And once seen, no one can forget Michael Powell's lysergic use of colors in Bluebeard's Castle. Anthology brings all these and other Bluebeard classics together in a series inspired by Catherine Breillat's recent fairy-tale spin on the femme killer, simply titled Bluebeard.
