Episode 311 – Wild in the Streets – No, The Case is Happily Resolved (1973)

from Cinema Smorgasbord

What if you witnessed a murder but the ACTUAL murderer goes to the cops first and accused YOU of being the killer? UH OH! That's what happens to Enzo Cerusico's hapless Fabio Santamaria in 1973's comically titled NO, THE CASE IS HAPPILY RESOLVED where Fabio's attempts to not get involved in the criminal justice system lands him in a heap of trouble, while the actual murderer (a school professor played by Riccardo Cucciolla) is treated like a hero by the cops. It's a dire look at class differences, the criminal justice system and making a lot of BAD decisions when you think someone is looking for you. At least, until a terrible, tacked-on ending (which we discuss!). CHECK IT OUT!
