zu den Ticketszu dem KalenderAntique dealer Alfredo Martelli (Marcello Mastroianni) is suspected of killing his wealthy former lover (Micheline Presle). He is arrested and interrogated by Inspector Palumbo (Salvo Randone). Elio Petri uses a series of flashbacks to tell Martelli's life, sketching his various love affairs, his work, his views, his behavior. The image of a bon vivant who is guilty of inhumanity above all emerges. The film was one of the most remarkable Italian debuts of the 1960s. (hjf)
