FAQ
The woman returns to the scene of the death and is sitting in her car. Suddenly an arm appears on the screen from someone who is apparently sitting in the back seat. Who was this person? Was it part of the plot or was it simply a blooper? Was it a cameraman or some symbolic part of the plot?more

This academic film is based on real events about a news publicized when a cyclist is smashed by a car which hit and run. The car is driven by an adulterous couple formed by an University professor(Alberto Closas) and a beautiful woman(Lucia Bose) married to an important man(Otello). Later they're blackmailed by a swindler(Carlos Casaravilla).
This splendid drama develops the adulterous loves between a teacher full of doubts and a high bourgeoisie lady .Fine performances from Argentinian actor Alberto Closas as the guilty professor and Lucia Bose, recently his work for Antionini, plays a selfish Femme-fatale . Secondaries acting by Carlos Casaravilla as an excellent villain , Fernando Sancho as a cop and Manuel Alexandre at a special ending intervention .Atmospheric and Neo-realist cinematography by Alfredo Fraile and adequate musical score. The motion picture is well directed By Juan Antonio Bardem. This is a 'rara avis' film of the 50s epoch because deals upon adulterous love, political event and murder. Bardem had to fight the censorship which didn't admit the adultery, love scenes , neither crimes and obligated a tragic end. This one is deservedly considered one of the best movies of the Spanish cinema.
