“The only famous name in this Martino movie is Mel Ferrer and I guess he was just taking the money and running to invest it in one of his productions .Ferrer could not care less and he really seems to want to leave as soon as possible this muddled political-cum-thriller effort ,a genre that was so popular in Italy at the time .It did produce good works (u0026quot;Cadaveri Eccellentiu0026quot; (Rosi) or Elio Petriu0026#39;s u0026quot;Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospettou0026quot; ).Alas ,such is not the case here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;La Polizia Accusa u0026quot; (which became in France u0026quot;The city accuses u0026quot;) features a u0026quot;meaningfulu0026quot; scene on a plane where the villain explains Hitleru0026#39;s u0026quot;philosophyu0026quot; (Maou0026#39;s doctrine was the same ,we are told ) to the virtuous cop (played by Luc Merenda whose only claim to fame was his part in the u0026quot;Chateauvallonu0026quot; miniseries).”
