L'Assassino (The Assassin)

Lush-living antiques dealer Alfredo Martelli (Marcello Mastroianni) is brought in by the police for questioning after his older socialite lover (Micheline Presle) is found murdered. Although giving his full cooperation to clear his name, he soon finds himself at odds with authorities perhaps more interested in picking his privileged life apart than solving the case. Intense directing debut for Elio Petri also stars Salvo Randone, Andrea Checchi. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Italian with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
