Vacation Noir

Unlucky vacationers discover that crime doesn’t take a holiday in these deceptively sunny, seductively dark thrillers set amid scenic beaches, luxury resorts, and picture-postcard locales. Honeymooners find themselves caught up in a disturbing domestic drama in the lurid, Technicolor Marilyn Monroe sizzler Niagara . Languorous days by the pool with Alain Delon and Romy Schneider take a deadly turn in the sultry suspense master class La piscine . And a Mediterranean cruise is the setting for a most delicious murder mystery in the diabolically entertaining, all-star whodunnit The Last of Sheila . With gorgeous scenery, swimsuit-clad stars, and shadowy intrigue, these lusciously overheated entertainments are the perfect summer escape—no sunscreen required.
