An man witnesses a murder. The murderer himself sees him and chases after him, but he manages to shake the assassin off and get home. What ensues is a psychological tug-of-war between the eyewitness and the killer.
Riccardo Cucciolla plays a reputable, yet troubled professor who commits a heinous and wanton murder, killing a young prostitute. Enzo Cerusico is a low level clerk, married with a child, who's not strong-willed enough to inform the police right away about the killing.
He then gets caught in a web of lies... will he be able to get out of it? A curious, experienced journalist, portrayed by Enrico Maria Salerno, chimes in to shed some light.
That's an unsung gem of Italian Seventies. The film is shot in such a way that holds you glued to the screen till the end.
