Inspector Ciccio Ingravallo (Pietro Germi) is assigned to investigate a robbery, but soon circumstances lead to a much bigger case. The lovely Liliana Banducci (Eleonora Rossi Drago), who lives near the scene of the crime, turns up dead, leading Ingravallo to question her husband, Remo (Claudio Gora), and their servant, Assuntina (Claudia Cardinale), among others. The astute Italian inspector must discover both the motive behind the killing and the culprit.

Poised between docudrama and satire, Pietro Germi’s fascinating The Facts of Murder also cannily folds in key elements of film noir for its exposé of postwar Rome’s seamy underside.

It was my first contact with Italian film noir. Quite different from what I'm used to, no shadows or reflections. It wasn't bad, though.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
