5 of 5 Georges Lampin's brave attempt ------ April 2, 2018
Reviewer: Hildegard Brosseau from Stratford, CT United States  
-------- to put Dostojewsky's novel into the Paris of the 1950s. He might have fallen flat on his face with that, but no, it worked. In fact it worked very well, in no small part due  to his actors. Robert Hossein is near perfect as Rene [Raskolnikoff], likewise Marina Vlady as the streetwalker. Interesting to see Bernard Blier as the bad guy for a change.
As to the title, "Crime et Chatiment",  says it better than "Crime and Punishment". Chatiment, which differs from punishment quite a bit, is more what Dostojewsky had in mind I would think.
