Storyline

Based on a true incident, this tells the story of a troubled young man who kills his sister's reactionary, violent and abusive husband and is eventually arrested for the murder. However, the dead husband happened to be a member of the Italian nobility, and the trial starts to turn into more of a prosecution of the defendant's socialist politics and the activities of his father, a well known liberal social reformer, than the actual crime itself.—frankfob2@yahoo.com

Short Review

No one has character reaction shots like 1970 Italian films; wished I could have seen it subtitled rather than dubbed - would have helped with the drama; Giannini and Deneuve bring such solidity despite overly melodramatic text
