directed by Billy Wilder, starring Charles Laughton, Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, USA 1957, 116 min., b/w, 35mm, original version with Italian subtitles

During a murder trial, a famous convalescent lawyer clashes with the defendant’s mysterious wife. Based on a story by Agatha Christie, who called it the best adaptation for the cinema of any of her works, this superb legal drama combines suspense with Wilder’s irresistible humour to achieve a high point in his exploration of reality’s deceptive nature. Peerless performances from a gruff and scathing Charles Laughton and a provocative Marlene Dietrich make this one of the best thrillers in the entire history of the cinema.
