Michel Simon orders that the entrance to Blanche’s bed chamber be bricked-up because he suspects a lover to be hiding within, and indeed the man is trapped along with Blanche’s pet dove. Later the wall is torn down and the man found in a state of syncope along with the bird. Both are revived, the dove with particular care and affection.
The Arrow Blu-ray also provides Peter Graham’s 11-minute film Gunpoint, edited and produced by Borowczyk, along with Daniel Bird’s very good hour-long 2013 artist bio Obscure Pleasures: A Portrait of Walerian Borowczyk.
