of a poor innocent cat.

For years the only companion

in her lonely existence.

That would be absurd!

He wanted to murder

his wife.

He set up a fake suicide.

You must find him guilty.

The woman, where is she now ?

Your guess is as good as mine.

She took off

while he was still in jail.

She stripped half the house,

and left him with her portrait.

And he's placed it

in front of his bed.

Doctor!

Is the headless figure Cres?

I think so.

Maybe his wife did it

out of spite.

Who was next to you here?

Probably Cres.

Probably?

Don't you have any

photographs of Cres?

I did have a few,

but he took them all back.

Who is it?

I'm inspector Rogas.

Come in.

The judge is is waiting for you.

Come in.

The police inspector is here.

Your honour.

Good evening.

Inspector Rogas.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

Will you excuse me a moment?

Certainly

Well?

Forgive me for calling

on you at this hour.

But I've been trying in vain

to see Mr Cres, the chemist.

But his house is locked.

And no one is answering.

What do you want

with the chemist?

Nothing in particular.

I looked up his file.....

a strange case indeed.

I need to put a face to it.

I want to meet the man.

But the Cres trial has no link

with anything nowadays.

It was much talked about.

And the sentence

was very controversial.

Weren't you one

of the judges?

I was only the recorder.

The decision was made by

Judge Varga and Chief Judge Sanza .

And they've both been killed.

Forty metres.

They fired from over there.

Who lives there?

It's a condemned building

A fire was lit

in one of the rooms.

The killer must have spent

the night there.

He must have known

the judges' habit pretty well.

Aren't they removing the corpse?

Doctor, there's an ambulance strike.

We can't find a vehicle.

Use one of our cars.

Do you need

the union's approval?

Were you really here

when he was shot?

Not exactly.

I saw the judge last night...

but I didn't kill him.

Why did you visit the judge?

Nothing important,

Just routine .

Surely you must have some clues...

It's the fourth since

you began investigating.

Gentlemen, talk to the local police.

Inspector, our readers

want to know...

Hey!

Ah. Look who's here!

One judge is a police matter,

but kill four, it's political.

So you'll give me

a political interpretation.

Don't you read the papers?

No, especially yours.

Good!

Let's get away from here.

Your colleagues won't

give me peace !

Come on.

Get into my car!

Too bad you don't read our paper,

it's the only one defending you.

Defending me. How ?

We're not into witch hunts.

We are not about raising

tension in the community.

We want to do out jobs.

Francesco Rosi

Francesco Rosi (15 November 1922 – 10 January 2015) was an Italian film director. His film The Mattei Affair won the Palme d'Or at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival. Rosi's films, especially those of the 1960s and 1970s, often appeared to have political messages. While the topics for his later films became less politically oriented and more angled toward literature, he continued to direct until 1997, his last film being the Primo Levi book adaptation The Truce. At the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival 13 of his films were screened, in a section reserved for film-makers of outstanding quality and achievement. He received the Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement, accompanied by the screening of his 1962 film Salvatore Giuliano. In 2012 the Venice Biennale awarded Rosi the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. more…
