The decision to become Ber-
nard turns out to be the worst
one Gervais ever made but 1t
isn't cricket to spoil anybody's
fun by explaining why here.
"Demoniac" probably gets more
confused than a suspense drama
ought to be. but 1t certainly
won't bore you by being obvious
about the next turn Of its plot.
Suspicion is not merely rampant
but exploding in all directions
but the right one before the ul-
innate destination Of this yarn
is in sight.
"Demoniac" is played in q
properly suspicious manner by
all those involved. Miss Presle
does a first-rate job as the girl
Gervais woos under his assumed
name and apparently under
somewhat Of a spell. Jeanne
Moreau is fetchingly convinc-
ing as her sister. who is mysteri-
ously up to no good in occupied
Paris. Madeleine Robinson is
effective briefly as Demands
sister. who turns up to COM
pound the confusion of Gervais'
life. Francois Perier ranges
from innocent to befuddled to
menacing to melodramatic as
he makes a mystery of Just what
it is Gervais is up to.
