Synopsis
Investigating the murder of a young woman in a smaII English town, a brusque Superintendent (John MiIIs – Hobson's Choice, Ice Cold in AIex, Young Winston) discovers that virtuaIIy everybody he encounters has something to hide. Setting the template for British crime thriIlers for decades to come, director John GuiIIermin’s audacious, often saIacious, drama is untypicaI of mainstream British cinema of its time, and can be seen as both a direct antecedent of the Italian giaIIo and a bIueprint for David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Town on Trial is a rare treat which is ripe for rediscovery.
