The Trial Begins

Charged with nabbing tax thieves and rooting out corruption wherever it may lead him, Italian officer Filippo Costa (Michele Lastella) displays little hesitation in compromising his own moral principles to advance his career. When he makes the acquaintance of a rich, seductive widow (Fanny Ardant) who ushers him into high society, his lack of scruples both aid and endanger him. Giulia Bevilacqua, Augusto Zucchi co-star. 98 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Italian Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, Spanish; theatrical trailer. In Italian with English subtitles.
