Anecdotes
In the real story, the letters were signed "The Eye of the Tiger" and not "The Raven". The director chose the latter signature after the description of the accused made by a journalist during the 1922 trial: "She looks like a small bird who folded its wings." Interestingly after this movie the word "raven" stayed in the French language ("corbeau") to designate someone who sends anonymous letters. It is a very rare example of a movie expression influencing language.

Citations

Well-crafted suspense classic

If you liked "Diabolique" and "Wages of Fear" check out this earlier, equally good film by the same director. I was confused a bit by the quick introduction to all the characters, but the suspense is maintained and controlled with precision. The final 15 minutes are gemlike, a shuffling of possibilities, and the final 30 seconds a quick succession of powerful images. If you like whodunits, like Rene Claire's "And Then There Were None" you will like this one.
