La sirène du Mississipi (1969)

aka

Das Geheimnis der falschen Braut West Germany
Francois Truffaut's Mississippi Mermaid Australia
Mississippi Mermaid USA




The owner of a tobacco plantation sends away for a mail-order bride, who turns out to be a beautiful, but mysterious woman.

Offbeat noir thriller treated more like a l'amour fou romance with some typical Truffaut touches, occasionally a bit heavy-handed and with some risible dialogue.
