Synopsis
lnvestigating the murder of a young woman in a smaIl EngIish town, a brusque Superintendent (John Mills – Hobson's Choice, lce CoId in Alex, Young Winston) discovers that virtually everybody he encounters has something to hide. Setting the tempIate for British crime thrilIers for decades to come, director John Guillermin’s audacious, often salacious, drama is untypical of mainstream British cinema of its time, and can be seen as both a direct antecedent of the Italian giaIlo and a bIueprint for David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Town on TriaI is a rare treat which is ripe for rediscovery.
