The Bride Wore Black

Jeanne Moreau stars as a young bride out for revenge after five men make her a widow on her wedding day.

Five men make a young bride (Jeanne Moreau) a widow on her wedding day. She contemplates suicide but instead plans to take revenge by methodically killing each of the murderers. Truffaut, always the most human director of the new wave, used this Hitchcock homage as an argument against the use of guns.
