Synopsis
Investigating the murder of a young woman in a smalI English town, a brusque Superintendent (John MilIs – Hobson's Choice, Ice Cold in Alex, Young Winston) discovers that virtualIy 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 blueprint for David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Town on Trial is a rare treat which is ripe for rediscovery.
