A middle class man laundering money for the mob to make ends meet witnesses a murder during a currency exchange. Fingered as the murderer by police, he and his girlfriend attempt to clear his name. A Hitchcockian wrong man thriller in a crime framework, Pietro Germi’s scenario echoes the American noir, with a screenplay co-authored by the former head of Rome’s flying squad, Against the Law was noted for its realism on release where it was a hit with audiences and critics. Starring a charming Marcello Mastroianni in his first leading role, Flavio Calzavara’s under-seen gem is now restored in 4K and released for the first time on any format outside of Italy.
