Alida Valli is a stunningly beautiful widow who mesmerizes in every scene. But the script is what constantly amazes. There was not one word that was anything but boldly original. Never, ever has there been a courtroom drama so absorbing.
Nothing typical happens in this film. The writing, directing and acting kept me glued to the screen from beginning to end.
Despite 80% of the film being in the courtroom, this drama was electrifying. Pardon my redundancy but I was knocked out by the story. I have never seen anything like it and I don't think there was a single line similar to any other script ever written of the many films I have viewed over the decades. Surprises abound.
My only regret is that anyone reading this review will be expecting too much and will be let down, so please ignore this review.
