The City Stands Trial (Template:Langx) is a 1952 Italian crime drama film directed by Luigi Zampa and starring Amedeo Nazzari, Silvana Pampanini and Paolo Stoppa. It is based on a revisiting of the Cuocolo murders and the struggle for control of Naples by the Camorra in the early 1900s. It is considered to be Zampa's most accomplished film.[1] It was shot at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome and on location in Naples. It was entered into the 3rd Berlin International Film Festival.[2]
Synopsis
In Naples at the beginning of the twentieth century a double murder of husband and wife appears to be the work of the Camorra. A crusading young judge takes on the case but faces a number of threats and obstacles, and his investigation turns much of the population against him.
