French director Claude Chabrol is saluted tonight on TCM, and the first movie up in prime time is his influential 1958 character study, Les Cousins, in which Juliette Mayniel plays a young woman attracted to, and courted by, two cousins – one a city sophisticate, the other an unassuming country boy. Gerard Blain, Jean-Claude Brialy co-star. Other movies presented tonight include another 1958 Chabrol film, Le Beau Serge, at 10 p.m. ET, and 1988’s controversial Story of Women, in which Isabelle Huppert plays an abortionist in occupied France.
