Slap The Monster on Page One

For conservative tabloid editor Giancarlo Bizanti (Gian Maria Volontè), there wasn't much he wouldn't do to move more copies, or gin up his readership's anger. After a woman's brutal assault and murder, with elections pending, he and his staffers are quick to get involved in the investigation... and to wrongly finger a known student radical as the perpetrator. Marco Bellocchio's charged thriller co-stars Laura Betti, Fabio Garriba, Corrado Solari, John Steiner. 86 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In Italian with English subtitles.
