Huit Femmes ("Eight Women") is a 1958 dark comedy drama by French dramatist Robert Thomas. The plot follows eight women as they gather to celebrate Christmas in an isolated, snowbound cottage only to find Marcel, the family patriarch, dead with a knife in his back. Trapped in the house, every woman becomes a suspect, each having her own motive and secret. (Wikipedia [1])
