Classic Italian Film: Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion

 A chief of detectives kills his mistress and deliberately leaves clues to prove his own responsibility for the crime -- yet no one seemingly wants to acknowledge the obvious in this thought-provoking look at the relationship between class and guilt.  Winner for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year (1971 Academy Awards).  "...a potent study of power as pathology..." -- The Village Voice; "...a clever mixture of psychology and suspense..." -- Roger Ebert.
