Many hard-working Italian actors gathered in this cruel film about corruption and mafia crimes: Mario Adorf, Enrico Maria Salerno, Gastone Moschin, Riccardo Cucciolla, Julien Guiomar, Georges Wilson. Ciccio Ingrassia, a comic actor with Franco Franchi in many very weak Italian comedies, here he plays a special dramatic role, as in "Amarcord", directed by Fellini, in which perched in a tree, he screams that he wants a woman. Mariangela Melato plays a shocking role as the widow of a man killed by mobsters. It is almost entirely static, with most of the action taking place in the courtroom, except for the scenes where we see a few deeds, crimes in fact, but it's worth seeing especially for the exceptional acting performances.
