A strange little film set entirely in an isolated Italian township. A young female teacher turns up and is played by SCANNERS starlet Jennifer O'Neill. A creepy guy begins harassing her on the bus and is later found dead, and she's suspected. Meanwhile, the townsfolk seem to be hiding a conspiracy of silence. Very little actually happens in this mood piece, although I suppose it's of one with old westerns like HIGH NOON and SHANE with locals showing collective weakness. James Mason and Franco Nero are typically good value in support.
